Decisions, Decisions: COVID Schooling 101

2comments Permalink 1

I haven’t talked about parenting in a while. You know why? It’s been struggleville in the area of schooling.

Kids are finally starting to settle into their new normal; but trying to make all that happen while juggling everything else has been something else. And parents are tired.

As schools reopened this fall amid the coronavirus pandemic, there were so many decisions to make—all of which seemed to be the wrong one.

Which one did you decide to do for your child? What were the deciding factors? Is there an innovative way that we other parents haven’t figured out?

I’ve discussed with people who are doing in-person learning, virtual learning, private school, charter school and homeschooling. There are pros and cons to everything.

Ultimately, it’s up to the parent (obviously), but I have taken away some valuable nuggets that I want to share.

This won’t even be a long post because I’m going to expound so much more in this week’s video. Plus, I’m still trying to wrap my mind around everything.

Did I mention I’m tired? LOL.

So, let’s discuss this weekend. But in the meantime, please don’t down another parent’s decision for their child’s schooling. We’re all just trying to do what’s best with what we know.

    My decision was to do virtual learning. I prayed before I made my decision and I’m at peace. Yes it has been rough but God is seeing me through. It seems as though, there is a whole lot more work to be done virtually verses face to face. Through this virtual journey I have learned to appreciate teachers soooo much more. I also learned to appreciate LIFE more too. You never know what’s going to happened. So to all the parents out there hang in there it will get better. Trust God and continue to pray for each other. If you need a hug, i’m sending one your way NOW! (Virtually) Until next time stay safe and stay positive. 🤎

      Prayer is key to making such a tough decision, but I’m glad you’re seeing that it’s the best thing for your family right now!
