Science at Home
This photo was taken of the author's six-year-old son after he was left alone with a "geology kit" while the author participated in a conference call for work. The child had been sent home from school that morning because he complained of a headache and phlegm in his throat. Since he was not actually ill, the author endeavored to find interesting activities for him to do throughout the day while she worked from home. Three days later, the child's school, a private Montessori School serving students 18 months - 14 years, notified all parents that it would be closed indefinitely. The universities where the author and her spouse worked also announced closures (at least regarding in-person student services) beginning Monday, March 16. The author and her husband are now attempting to balance "Montessori-at-home" for their 3 and 6-year-olds with "working-from-home" until the crisis is over. As of this writing, the author believes this could be anywhere from one month to six months. Even as this presents challenges, the author is thankful for the security of hers and her husband's salaried university jobs and their capacity for sharing childcare responsibilities, knowing how much harder a similar situation would be for a wage-worker or a person relying on tips. -

COVID19 & its effect on Education
Text Box explaining COVID 19 and Education: "Most colleges and universities have shut down following spring break (March 16, 2020). Most students were not able to return to campus post spring break to retrieve their personal belongings such as clothes and school books. Online classes have been administered for most colleges in order to continue the curriculum. Some colleges are keeping their options open and are hoping to return students to campus on April 14, 2020 however some colleges have already decided that the remainder of the semester will be completed through online classes at home. Not only have colleges shut down but public school districts have also closed for an initial 3 weeks beginning March 16, 2020. Cancelling schools is causing issues for working parents who are either physically attending their workplace or are attempting to work from home. Their children are now home and will need parental support to continue their curriculum. Childcare has become an increasing issue." -
