Expect more from kids 

I hestitate to include this insight when some of us are all over having kids at home with us 24/7. But as it is something teachers have addressed in conversations over the past weeks I am passing it on. Little things like knowing teachers expect students Yr1-6 to write and read everyday for 20-30 minutes without interruptions or support when in the classroom, means that parents can expect that too. (Understanding that not everyday is successful for every child - even at school!) So if you want a different perspective to bring a little support for the adults at home open the link. It may also be one to save for another time.
