A lesson during the holidays?

School is almost over

Back to school after the pandemic

Dear students!

It wasn't easy, was it?

Staying at home, doing things for school, making sure you catch up with all the assignments for all the subjects and hand in, or better, send all the 'proves of learning' to more or less persistent teachers that would not let you avoid responsibilities, fearing that you might oversleep and miss a video class, listening to your parents telling you school is your own responsibility and that you have to be (more) responsible, ... and you tell me what else you had to endure during the quarantine.

I can imagine.

So, why were you a bit puzzled when you were told you could go back to school. Why did it come down to you had to go back to school?

After the first week, I hope you've loosen up a bit and actually started to appreciate the opportunity to hang out with friends, get that explanation of what you were supposed to do that was really hard to understand from the witten instructions, had a few good moments away from home, and not such a bad time at all.

And I hope school isn't hard for you these last few weeks, but a manageable if not enjoyable period of time before you are off again for your fast-approacing summer holidays.

Let's make it the best end of the school year we can - together.
