While many parents are stressing about how they’re going to keep their children learning during the COVID lockdowns, one mum seems to already have it all worked out.
She’s come up with a home-schooling daily schedule for her children. It contains six one-hour lessons followed by an after-school club, with a particular focus on home-schooling. The day starts at 9 am with a home economics ‘food tech’ class focusing on how to make coffee – a very handy skill if their parents are working from home. Once they’ve cracked that, it’s time to move onto mechanical engineering at 10 am, how to use a vacuum cleaner. At 11am PE starts, which involves running outside, taking the rubbish, and recycling out with them. After lunch, it’s chemistry, which will see the kids learning about bleach and other cleaners – with a particular focus on how to scrub the toilet. 2 pm is geography, with the mum explaining that things tossed on the floor have proper locations. The final lesson of the day is another science class, but this time the kids will study how dish soap can remove grease from dirty dishes. Tomorrow’s lesson is kitchen Home Economics, how kids can make their own lunch!!….Ed
