Why a kid’s relationship with teachers is more important than ever (Nat Geo)

When the pandemic forced most kids into remote learning last spring, children lost vital physical connections with their teachers. Gone were the morning high-fives, hallway conversations, and over-the-shoulder homework corrections they were used to. Positive teacher-student bonds are the “secret sauce of education”, yet many kids in Virtual School feel isolated, bored and disconnected - especially given large class sizes and technology limitations. The good news is that you can improve your child’s relationship with their teacher, even during a pandemic.
