Www.livebeyondautism.com   My Back to School and  COVID-19 What was once a place to sleep, eat, home is now also a place to call school due to a worldwide pandemic. Are students, teachers, and parents ready to incorporate school as their virtual reality at home? I have never experienced something like this in my life.

Parents will have to become teachers, students will have to learn self-discipline, and teachers will be put to the test on their technological abilities while instructing classes. The w...
