The Atlantic Homeroom: My Daughter Is Lying to Me About School She says she’s done her work, but her teacher tells me she hasn’t. What should I do? Elena Xausa Editor’s Note: Every Tuesday, Abby Freireich and Brian Platzer take questions from readers about their kids’ education. Have one? Email them at homeroom@theatlantic.com. Dear Abby and Brian, I’m writing about my daughter, a seventh grader whom I’ll call Z. Her school has been fully remote since last spring. Z used to love school, but after a year of remote classes, she is totally unmotivated.
