Three assignments for parents
1 Keep them healthy.  If they miss school they will miss out and fall behind.  Make up work is not the same.  No really, it isn't
2 Keep them here.  No trips during school.  See number 1 for reasons.
3 Give them food and a place to work at home.  The brain runs on burning the food we eat.  They are growing and need a lot of good nutritious food (not junk food).  A consistent place to work makes the brain engage more readily.  I could tell you stories.
