My child is back in school. She may get sick or someone in her class or school may get sick which is a known risk we are willing to take. The same thing can happen each time we leave our home to go to a store, church or anywhere else.
After 2 partial weeks in class my daughter’s spark is back!!
She’s happier, singing, dancing around the house, calling her friends after school and eager to get up in the morning to go to school. She’s working hard and coming home willing to do her homework after a quick shower followed by some down time.
Is it without risks? No. But today those are risks I am willing to take and I will reevaluate each morning and decide from there.
For our family, returning to school was a leap of faith and I’m glad we jumped in with both feet!!
Will she return to learning from home at some point this year? I fully expect so but I truly believe the teaching, fun, normalcy, joy and more that she’s experiencing now will aid her when that time comes.
Not judging anyone who chose virtual learning or homeschooling for their child(ren), just sharing our experience.
