Season 2, episode 11: the lotus eaters
“Kids are not always up for learning at the time when you're up for teaching them. And you have to eventually become okay with that.”
For parents who aren't natural home-schoolers, the challenges of distance learning have proven to be some of the pandemic's most difficult. When her son's struggles become bigger than academics, Laura and her family seek help in the only place they can find it: on the opposite side of the country, far from home. Laura talks with best-selling author, educator, and historian Susan Wise Bauer, who offers a vision for education in America that can bring us together.

This episode is dedicated to my mother-in-law, Robin Davis, who has not only forever changed our son's life, but given our family much-needed shelter thousands of miles from home. Shelter in Place would not exist today without her.
