You're in your twenties and fled the City to your parents house in Connecticut. You're working from home, away from your friends...now what?

The social-emotional needs of students are always part of curriculum planning. But what about faculty who are new to this type of teaching? And what burden does distance learning place on parents and other caregivers to make this work?

There is a part of me that feels like I am on an airplane right now. We are flying through thunderstorms, diverted to a different airport, and experiencing intermittent turbulence. The pilots are focused on flying the plane, they have little time to get on the intercom and assure us we will be alright, and the flight attendants have been instructed to sit down. Other passengers are nervous too. We look to each other for comfort, but it feels fleeting.
