Thank you Ashton for doing this piece. Although I don’t believe it’s any easier with school age kids. Homeschooling your kids on top of trying to find time for your own work is too much. I can only speak for myself, but I’m definitely struggling and concerned about the success of this semester. And graduating. Thanks again for reporting this. I hope faculty will take these- and other Covid-19 struggles to heart.
