It's a very unfair situation at the moment. For example. You have me, a SAHM (fortunately) with a DH who works from home. I have a reception aged child and a toddler but am managing well, though it's bloody hard work, because I do not have my own job to do whilst homeschooling.
Then you have my family member. She is just as capable and willing to homeschool as me. She is a good, engaged parent. She also has a reception age child and a toddler. Difference is, and has a full time job to do at home and a DH who is a emergency services key worker on shifts. No KW place for them as only one KW and school says two only. Toddler usually goes to a private childminder who has closed due to a vulnerable family member so no toddler childcare either. GPs are vulnerable so toddler can't go there.
Pre lockdown our reception age children were both doing well with their basics. Now however my child is still learning at a decent rate and hers is starting to fall behind. How is that fair?
I know it's a pandemic, and I don't know what the answer is. But some children are being failed, and it's not the fault of the parents. You simply cannot WFH full time adequately and homeschool adequately too. It's an impossible task especially with very young children who need constant supervision.
And that's before you even start thinking about the children who actually have parents who don't give a monkeys about their education, or who can't afford access to tech etc etc.
I'm prepared for it to be Easter but I'm not delighted about it!
