School’s about to be back in session, and for many students, the new school year begins from home. That’s frankly stressing the hell out of many parents, who must contend with supervising their children’s online learning while continuing their own efforts to work from home and manage daily household matters.

So to get some ideas on how to cope, we hit up Karen Liska Evans, a friend of the pod and coach who’s literally writing a book on working from home with kids. She offers some great tips for how to stay sane.

Also, we add a few headlines you should know from around town:

• The latest COVID-19 numbers from the state of Michigan
• Newly uncovered wiretap recordings between indicted Detroit City Councilman Gabe Leland and businessman Bob Carmack, courtesy of the Freep (paywall)
• Influential Detroit developer Eric Means has died at age 48
• And we uncover the reason why the Hamtramck Post Office was closed last week
