"Mom, is that right?"
She shows me exercises she has solved in arithmetic.
again.
What year now?
Why are we home again?
who is to blame?
Who knows multiplication of mixed fractions?
Are corals also living beings?
H E L P!
Listen, this is not funny.
I know the memes and amusing WhatsApp messages that run in parent groups, but the situation is not funny, not entertaining.
Just confusing, insane, discouraging and depressing.
And my daughters at home for only three days!
Still, the deja vu feeling, when accompanied by multiple contradictions and followed by a flood of cancellations (trips, parties, birthdays, classes, regular school walks, mom's work meetings, mom's sports training) - makes me feel bad.
Yes, we are all in one boat.
We all stand for hours (wait, for emphasis: SAH) for queues for tests, staring at the screens, at the children, at ourselves - that is, at what is left of us after two years (!) Of an epidemic.
We are all waiting for the results, we are all ridiculously confused by the ambiguity, and not a single local Corona commissioner has been found who can explain the guidelines to himself or others.
And now we're all also terrified of the return of zooming studies, no matter if you have teenagers, elementary students or kindergarten children at home.
Sorry, forget about it.
If you have a toddler at home, you have won.
The good news: they will grow and reach elementary school zooms!
How do you feel about mixed fractures ...?
The confusion that we parents encounter in educational institutions is an arm of general chaos.
Each of us does what he understands.
The phrase "it feels right to me" has never been more true.
Get vaccinated, send to school, do not send to school, get tested, do not get tested, oppose everything in general, agree to everything in a sweeping way - does anyone know better than you?
Not sure.
I certainly do not.
Even with multiple mixed fractures I do not control.
Indeed, this week I learned that corals eat, grow, breathe, reproduce and make contact with the environment.
That is, they are living beings.
Maybe they know when this omicron ends?
"Mom, is that right?"
Next time she asks I'll pretend I know.
I have no idea, but I learned to perfect my pretense abilities in closures A, B, C - just to avoid answering her doggie: Listen doll, I do not know.
I do not know when this wave will pass, I do not know when we will celebrate your birthday with the whole class, I do not know if we will go on vacation on Mount Hermon and I also do not know when you will return to school.
I only know that many parents are in exactly this place, taking another deep breath in January 2022 and convincing themselves that one day, in the future, we will laugh about it.
Have you already brought me the day, or the answer to the 6/7 double 4/14 exercise.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
