Albuquerque, NM, April 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One of the unexpected consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic is homeschooling. Many parents have been forced to figure out educational standards, choose curriculum and cover all the topics their child needs to succeed in high school, college and beyond. Add to that the now very stressful situations of having to either work from home, search for a new job, or homeschool while working away from home.
Rebecca Woodbury Keller, PhD and CEO of Gravitas Publications, Inc., a national publisher for home schooling textbooks and materials, offers some practical advice for parents who are suddenly teachers.

Dr. Keller offers these tips:
“Taking these steps you’ll see that your child will be eager to study math, history, economics, and science. And it will only take a few minutes of your time each day,” Dr. Keller added.
