The coronavirus closed the schools at the beginning of my daughter’s formal education. For eight months I’ve been tutoring her at home: how to read, how to do arithmetic, what was a dinosaur. It takes a couple of hours every day, less at the beginning. After we finish she watches TV or plays outside.
But I don’t stop thinking about it or reacting to it all day. I have spent some time as a college “teacher” but this is a different experience for me. It’s sent me to sift through a gigantic and tendentious literature about education.
I might keep a record in this space of what I’ve been doing.
