TL;DR
Sylvan Learning discusses the long-term impact of the shift to online learning on students, citing both challenges and benefits. The company suggests ways parents can support their children's education at home, such as reading together and incorporating math skills into games.
As the 2020-21 school year progressed, many students and educators returned to in-person learning across Lancaster County; however, others stayed virtual. While some students found flexibility and growth in online schooling, others struggled with pressure, confusion and a lack of connection. Encouraging post-secondary education and careers post-high school were tall tasks for high school staff across the country.
“We had a lot of families who came to us and just said, ‘OK, we tried to just get through the year, but now we're ready to make some moves and support our children,’” Clippinger stated.
Clippinger added that one of the best ways parents can foster education at home is by reading with their child and by having conversations about what they are reading. Math can be a little trickier, but one technique Clippinger suggests is to play card games and incorporate math skills into it.
