Stephanie Bowes said the difficulties of transitioning her two elementary-school-aged sons to e-learning were stressful enough to make her cry some nights.
Cutting back her hours at work to be home with them during the week, figuring out how to use the virtual learning system and making one laptop work for the two boys were all challenges Bowes had to overcome when schools closed in March last year.
“We weren’t going to bed until 10 o’clock at night,” Bowes said. “One would do a little bit. Then the other one. They were alternating back and forth. So some days we didn’t go to bed until about 10 trying to do the work and navigating their system.”
