With Wuhan Coronavirus spreading in New York City, parents, Parent Teacher Associations, and schools seem to be inevitably headed for extended shutdowns and quarantines. The Department of Education is crossing its fingers, wiping down all surfaces, and hoping to avert the worst without closing schools, but parents are going to need contingency plans.
Do Soylentils have recommendations for online resources that members of NYC's school boards can share with the parent community to help kids keep up with their school work? Khan Academy is an excellent resource for math & science; it doesn't span every subject but something like it that grade school kids can understand would be ideal.

The spider squishing thing's what really sells me. I don't mind spiders in theory or when their appearance isn't combined with close proximity and unexpectedness but a surprise spider right next to me is going to be vehemently sqooshed with whatever I happen to have in hand, be it a book or a baby.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

One spider will get my daughter to do one weeks worth of cardio at once.
