For many of us, the 2020 - 2021 academic year resembles an episode of Netflix’ Black Mirror or The Twilight Zone. Our new normal includes masks, hybrid learning and online classes even for small children. For many parents, balancing all of this is unnerving to say the least. One thing that helps is to remember we are not in this alone. The pandemic is happening to all of us at the same time, and today we’re joined by educational experts to help us unpack exactly what co-parents need to know about the upcoming school year. First, we speak with Educational Psychologist Dr. Tere Linzey who shares tips for divorced co-parents to improve their school-aged kids’ visual processing speeds, and their ability to focus when they’re on and offline in different households. And then, Educational Consultant Jamie Bakal joins our conversation to provide an overview of the public and private school landscape in Los Angeles. She explains how to navigate both as classes begin in the Age of COVID-19. The All’s Fair with Laura Wasser podcast (hereinafter referred to as the “All’s Fair”) represents the opinions of Laura Wasser and her guests to the show.
