I have been thinking a lot about my students and what they must be going through. I thought this might be something parents may need to hear. Students might not understand why their parents are making them do work at home. In their short school careers, they've learned that when they are on a break at home, it is their 'free time'. They have never been made to do school work during summer break, winter break, or spring break. They probably don't understand why they have to do school work now, and are quite possibly upset and frustrated. And they will show it in their behavior, because a lot of them don't have the words to say it. They probably weren't even told by their parents why they haven't gone back to school, or why they now have to do school work at home.
So please be patient - with your child and with yourself. Give them lots of breaks; don't expect them to sit through 5-7 hours of academic work at home. There is no academic concern bigger than making sure your child feels safe, comforted, and content.

Do you have what it takes to earn a median base salary of $100,000 as an Augmented Reality Developer?
Background: Augmented Reality or AR is where artificial objects are simulated in the real world and incorporates or merges the information as part of the live view. The technology functions by enhancing a person’s concept of reality by overlaying the information over their view and merging it together. This perspective gives information and data of the object/scene viewed and in some cases, lets you manipulate the projected image to suit our needs. AR enhances the real environment whereas, VR creates a new environment altogether. Typically, augmented reality app developers will possess a mixture of skills including 3D modelling, computer vision and imaging expertise and a deep understanding of existing mobile technologies.
