GREEN BAY (NBC 26) -- All parents with school-aged children in Wisconsin are now having to juggle working from home and home schooling their children. Experts say it's no easy task, but that having a clear set schedule can help and there are some resources available to add to your own syllabus.
Pearson's Connections Academy offers K-12 online education. They say it's important for parents, children and teachers to set a schedule and stick with it. Be sure to set up individual work spaces that can help everyone stay focused. The Academy says online learning can be more personalized than a classroom setting. Parents should also watch for children who may be struggling to understand the material and not saying anything.
