It’s not easy to teach in the distance and through tools they are not used to because there are many differences between schools that are in cities as the capital and other cities like the one I live in or rural areas.

I respect any profession and I’m very grateful when I hear people saying what you are saying, recognising that teachers not only have a very delicate job because we are dealing with kids but also don’t have a schedule. We work a lot at home to plan the lessons and make them attractive and helpful for the kids.

Thank you, @rechu for your words.
Education is so important, I think you are doing an amazing job @AzulOscuro as are all teachers. My mind boggles to think about how you are all adapting to this new method of lesson delivery.

In the UK schools are partially used by children of key workers and those in need (family background is struggling) but in lockdown right now they are being home schooled. I know it must be stressful for parents, a friend of mine is juggling her day job and home education of her little boy. It's hard! If anything it makes her more grateful for teachers than ever before.

Opening schools is a priority in England, how are other countries doing this? Is home schooling the thing? Or are schools open?
Thanks for this!
