As the pandemic continues, homeschooling parents are tired. They are tired of not having access to their homeschooling friends and to their usual educational and social activities. In short, they miss their support network.
I am an orthopedagogue supporting homeschooling families and a new "COVID mother". Like many people, I thought: “Yeah! Homeschooling, I’m finally going to try it for myself!” But, I quickly fell from my cloud. This Spring, I didn’t “homeschool”, I “schooled at home”.
There is a lot of information circulating on social networks and in the media that creates questions and concerns for many of you. There are differences between distance learning and homeschooling.
Our lives have been turned upside down lately - some more than others. Many of my friends take pleasure in homeschooling their kids but, for others, it’s a daunting task alongside their jobs (work overload, etc.). Everyone is doing their best.
