I assure you working in healthcare directly with covid patients for the last year, there has been great fear (legitimate fear), and countless, beautiful, often tragic, examples of great bravery.BBM
I wonder why home schooling works for the kids who get schooled at home normally?
They use computers too....Humm....A whole 'nother kettle of fish!
Great quote:
“Fear may be what we feel, but brave is what we do.”
Sometimes people equate fear with weakness but it's that fear that creates bravery.
It's so easy to help someone without the fear, like throwing a rope to someone drowning in deep H20. This is not bravery.
Now the drowning person misses the rope and someone else, facing their own fear of drowning, dives in to retrieve the rope making sure the drowning person gets it.
This is bravery.
As for the homeschooling question, I think there is a huge difference between choosing to homeschool your children and dealing with this idea of “remote learning”. Of the homeschooling parents that I personally know, none of them hold down full time careers outside the home on top of being their child’s teacher. They also choose to educate their child at home, selecting curriculum, etc. I personally don’t know a whole lot of ordinary parents who are equipped to teach their children how to read or do math, or to teach their high schooler calculus, physics, foreign languages, literature, etc. They tend to send their children to school so that actual professionals can do this while they work themselves.
