Learning Centers Can Help Fill the Learning Gap
As school districts across the United States devise plans for how they will reopen in the Fall, some parents are working on ways to either provide what they believe will be a safer learning environment or provide additional instruction to augment their child’s education. This article in Axios explores this trend.
One such idea is called a “pod.” These learning pods are formed by a group of families with children of similar ages who will hire a tutor to work with their children at a common location or home.
This option will not work for everyone, though. However, many parents are worried about the efficacy of the education their children are receiving at schools today and are looking at other options. One option has been around for a long time.
Is there a learning center in your area that can tutor children in-center or online? If so, wouldn’t now be a good time for them to remind moms and dads how they can help?
