Yesterday we were talking about how difficult it may be to stay such a long time together locked down both for parents and children. There's still another problem with children going to primary school or teenagers: HOMESCHOOLING!!
Now parents and children have had the opportunity of realizing how important the role of teachers is. Anyway, this experience will make us all better people and we will all appreciate many things that we have taken for granted so far.
What other things have you really missed during this lockdown? Most of you have agreed on one thing: MEETING YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. What else?
Here are some articles related to the issue of HOMESCHOOLING:
Home schooling is tough, but parents are doing a fraction of teachers' jobs (The Guardian)
Parents are losing their minds having kids home during coronavirus (The New York Post)
