We knew when we made our decision that pausing our son’s schooling would not mean pausing his learning. As Egyptologists and archaeologists, my husband and I talk nonstop about history, science and exploration, and we have photos and maps of Egypt everywhere. We use age-appropriate language, and our son always asks when he does not understand a
term or concept. We also supplement his formal education with outside enrichment like history books, TED-Ed and educational YouTube videos, art and history documentaries.

我們做出這個決定時就知道， 暫停兒子就學並不代表暫停他的學習。 我和先生作為埃及學家和考古學家， 總是不停談論歷史、 科學和探索，
家裡到處都掛著埃及的照片和地圖。我們使用適合他年齡的語言，當兒子遇到不瞭解的術語或概念也總會發問。我們還透過外部充實教材充實他的正規教育，例如歷史書籍、 TED-Ed、 YouTube影片，和藝術及歷史紀錄片。

What our family is doing is a stopgap, but it’s not a solution—not for us, not for our son and not for our society. I don’t have the answer. All I can know is that responding with love feels right in this moment, and I hope my son remembers that he was loved deeply every day during this crisis.
