Home-schooling pushed ex-Marine to "breaking point"

Has anyone else read this story on BBC news? Parents are victims of this pandemic too. The toll on parent's mental health is really bad; this article just highlights it. I don't know what could be done to support people like this man, and parents in general like me, but I find it amazing that parents have just been told "get on with it," and quite literally, flung under the bus. It's damaging people's relationships with their own children.

Good on this man for telling the truth about his experience. It is AWFUL trying to home-school, and work at the same time. Some people are managing well, and hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel but I do think the Govt. need to think of a way to recognise the daily struggle that parents and families and their children are facing.

@mumwalk I am sorry for your experience. I am teaching all of my lessons live using 2 computers. I am stuck to my screens all day every day. I’m lucky that my own kids are old enough to get on with it, cos that is what they are having to do.
