Remote Learning

 

Drew and his BFF who lives just a couple streets over decided to tackle remote learning together this year for the first few weeks they aren't in school. As of right now they are set to go back in person on September 14th with a ton of mandates (ie: masks, etc) but we are just hoping and praying they do go back in. Sure he's self sufficient compared to our friends who have smaller ones that struggle and cry daily. It's  not right for children to be on zoom calls or watching the screen for 6-7 hours a day and I HATE it. Our entire city wants to go back in teachers included and it's frustrating we're stuck trying to teach these kiddos at home. When they have breaks I make them hope off the computers and go outside to ride their bike, play or play a board game. It's just such a weird time right now and our current words are flexibility and grace. We talk about them daily and try so hard to live them daily as well. For now he's doing great with remote learning as he's just such a smart guy who catches on to everything quickly but for his mental health as well as his friends they NEED to go back in. This virus isn't hurting children nearly as bad as adults and we shouldn't be teaching our youth in this manner for something that has a 0.00% death rate in children. :(
