Ever since schools closed for in-person learning in mid-March, my numerous chat groups on WhatsApp have been buzzing with moms asking each other: "What are the schools planning to do?" "Are you planning to send your child back in the fall?" And expressing concerns such as "I am struggling to keep my child busy, and off the screen" and "I'm worried my child will be behind this year." As a parent, I share their plight and that of many other parents and caregivers across the country.
