One of the difficulties I will confront when my son's face-to-face sessions become closer is the price of the travel expenses and his daily meal costs. My kid and I have become accustomed to learning online throughout the pandemic years. On August 22nd, classes unexpectedly resume. I even imagined that the learning would be mixed and that, if we choose not to send the children to school, we would still have the option of continuing their education online. But I was totally wrong. All children are now mandated to go to school four days a week. It is allowed whether they don't want to be vaccinated or what. We, the guardians just have to sign a waiver allowing our child to go to school without having any covid-19 injections.

Another thing that I am worried about is their classroom was set up in such a way that I instantly questioned whether the social distance was appropriate there, I must admit that I don't want to send him back. Additionally, I don't see any indicators of appropriate interior air ventilation.

We were also given a timetable that said that the children's session would begin at midday- 12 noon and conclude at six pm at night, which is exactly what I had in mind. Here, I was completely taken aback. Six hours can accomplish a lot. And given their youth, how can we be certain that a teacher in the classroom will offer these kids appropriate attention?

But because I'm being forced to send him to school so that he may at least interact socially with his classmates, I only need to safeguard my kid by giving him vitamins daily and providing him guidance on how to prevent becoming sick inside of school. My son's wide-ranging intelligence is a positive thing. I have faith in his ability to manage it, and I am aware of the positive effects attending school has had on him as a kid.

As a mother, I can state that this semester will be quite challenging for both my kid and me. I find it challenging to revert to the traditional study methods because so much has transpired over the three years of the pandemic. Please understand that I am aware that children still require a social environment, but let's consider whether the time is right. We are confident that the youngster will still learn something, thus it would be preferable if the Department of Education supported ongoing blended learning. On the other hand, it could be preferable if they brought the kids back gradually over a shorter period of time.

However, there is nothing we can do but comply. I just hope that those in charge of children's education will be more broad-minded. Think about what will be better for the majority because as a parent, I also know what is right for my child.
