“It was very much: Be flexible, go with the flow,” the actress said in July. “But you have to divide and conquer, otherwise I think one person probably gets too burned out. And we just have to be there for each other.”
Biel went on to praise the “huge” support from the pod schools in their area: “It was really helpful for my kids to have some small, safe social circle, and I didn’t go crazy.”
“I am not a teacher. That is what I learned,” she added.
