My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

| Another day down, a weekend over, and the girls go back to school tomorrow. Well, if they had school; they will go back to distance learning. I don't know what your thoughts are on distance learning, but I'll be happy to share mine. I think it stinks! The girls both want to be back in school with their friends, of course. From my side, I want them back to school, too; it's a lot of extra work and a headache having them schooling from home. For one thing, I cannot do much of anything or they will be off their Chromebooks and on their phones. I also have to help them with their studies, but unlike at school, they tend to try and get me to do most of their work by asking about everything. At the same time, I still have my regular work to do around home, as well as shopping and trying to do my own thing. Meanwhile, the teachers wait for students to contact them with questions and seeking help. But, once the assignments are posted, the kids are driving their parents crazy and not contacting the teachers at all. In our school district, the teachers have to work from school, so they bring in their hobbies and crafts to keep busy through the day. Meanwhile, at home, I'm too busy to work on any hobbies or crafts and am doing good if I can keep the girls focused on their schoolwork and get lunch cooked without burning something. Meanwhile, the teachers and school staff are collecting their salaries the same as any other time. Now, I don't think they should have their pay reduced, not at all. But, since I'm doing a great deal of their work, I think I should get some kind of compensation, too. No, not as much as the teachers, but a little something for all the added work I'm doing. I'm sure if the forces that be had to start paying parents who stay home to teach their children because of distance learning the schools would reopen. Maybe not full time, but at least back to the hybrid we had before Thanksgiving. Now, it's time for me to get to bed, I have to be up early to play the part of a teacher's assistant, an unpaid teacher's assistant. |
