When I talk about “distance learning rules for parents,” the techniques are really about survival with a side of sanity:

Clear house rules: Kids need to be dressed, fed, and not Zooming from under a table. Pants are not optional.
Parent boundaries: No hovering, no whispering answers off‑screen, and for the love…no wandering through the background in a towel.
Distraction control: Put the pets, siblings, and especially the random backyard wildlife (looking at you, “python in the cage”) out of camera view.
Humor first: Laugh at the chaos so you do not cry through the entire school year.
