Great article, Rich, thank you! I especially like that the kids aren’t allowed to have devices at night but still get to read (paper) books before bed.

Thanks for the article. I quickly discovered one other challenge with distance learning from home: how to ensure my son (a Freshman in high school) joins Zoom class sessions on time. On campus, school bells take care of this. My solution: I used the Due reminder app to create a bell schedule on my son’s iPhone. Here is a link to a post where I explain what I did in case it’s helpful to TidBITS readers.
