TS happyfeet, your post really resonates with so many parents out there! The back-to-school season can be a challenging time, and your idea to crowdsource homework help is awesome.

I've found that keeping an open communication line with the teachers helps a lot. Most schools have an online platform where teachers can pin up useful resources, which really helps reinforce learning for the kids. If there's something the kids just can't seem to grasp, the teachers are usually happy to run through it again one-on-one, especially if you arrange for extra help during their recess or non-contact time.

Keep the good tips coming, everyone!
