@AzulOscuro you are welcome! I used to (before covid restrictions) volunteer in school reading with children - I love and miss it very much. I worked one to one with children - teaching a whole class is quite different! So I saw how demanding a teacher's job is and managing the emotional and social world of children as well as their education.

Holding their attention online must be difficult, it's not easy even in a class room.

I do worry for the children who have gotten behind at this time. One of the boys I read with is already behind for his age and I can imagine the situation has only got worse. Hopefully schools can go back next month.

Sadly I think it will be a long time before it's okay for me to volunteer in school again.
