COVID LOCKDOWN 2020

Perspective Number 1

Listen, Im going to be completely honest with you, I don’t want to go back to school.  Im not saying I don’t like school, I just prefer to learn at home!  I used to have to get up super early just to catch the bus, 45 minutes there, 45 minutes back! That’s an hour and a half of wasted time, sitting there……stuck in traffic most days. No thank you! I felt like I was wasting my childhood stuck in a classroom or stuck on a bus.  Not now! Now I get to get up, take my time eating my breakfast, stay in my pyjamas all day, and work from the comfort of the sofa….perfect!

No distractions, no kids disrupting my classes, just me, getting on with my work.  It's actually far more productive!  Am I lonely? No! I get to chat with my dog, and my mum who is also working from home, and I still see my friends by zoom calls. It’s the perfect mix! 

If I have to go back they wont get a better student, they will be an unhappy child.  The world has changed, let me stay happy at home.

Perspective Number 2

Listen, Im going to be completely honest with you.  I can't wait to go back to school, I hate all this learning from home business.  Getting up and knowing I cant leave the house?  No thank you! I used to get up, get dressed as quickly as possible and rush out the door to meet my friends before school!  I was living my best childhood! Now its just me stuck in front of my laptop, no friends to chat with….just my cat. Most days I don’t even get dressed, I’m just lonely.  No gossiping on the playground, or passing secret notes in class, just me…..by myself.  Zoom calls aren’t the same, its just staring at a screen, nothing to talk about because none of us have done anything to talk about!

If I have to go back to school I can't promise ill be a better student, but i'll be a happier child!  The world has changed, and I cant wait for a bit of normality again.
