Studying in Self Isolation?
One of the most unbelievable things of the year remains the fact that schools closed in an unprecedented notion. As many families will know, things haven’t exactly been plain-sailing since students embarked back into school. With contact tracing, lack of staff, or cases of Covid-19, many schools have faced the juggle of having pupils self-isolate at various times.
Since September, things for your teenager may have felt a bit ‘hokeycokey.’ In some situations, pupils have experienced a very ‘leg in, leg out’ start to their academic year- more so if your teenager has self-isolated. With Christmas and the winter still ahead, there remain chances that your teenager might have to study from home if they are asked to isolate. As a parent or guardian, you might be wondering if there’s anything you can additionally do to support your teenager at this time?
