The school year 2020 will be a different one since most students will be doing online learning due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Adjustments will be made not only by students but by parents as well.

“My heart goes out to all other parents with older kids who have to transition to online schooling. Those who have 2, 3, 4 or more kids that they have to provide a tablet or laptop to just to be able to comply with school requirements. Those whose kids have class from 8AM til 3PM. Those who are also working parents who can’t supervise the online learning. And most especially to those who are struggling to even acquire a gadget or pay for internet.
My Pre-K toddler only does one hour a day, and yet it is still a struggle. I find myself running short on patience, even if I understand that her short attention span with listening to her teacher through her tablet is because she is struggling to adjust as well. I know that I don’t “have” to school her at this age, but it is a choice I made so that she learns the routine of knowing there is school every day, so we can all transition easier in the future when physical school is possible again.
I try to make learning fun for her by doing something slightly different everyday, giving her the choice of what “subject” she would like to do for the day, because I also don’t want her to “fear” or to “hate” learning. I just want her to build the value of curiosity so that she will love learning.
I salute every single teacher on the face of this earth for the noble, admirable and difficult job you do.
To fellow parents reading this, please, please leave a comment on how you are adapting to online schooling so we can all learn from each other. Any tips and advice are much appreciated!”
