Mom Has Epic ‘Home-Economics’ Plan For Home Schooling Kids During Lockdown

Parenting July, 05, 2025

Schools are shutting in the United Kingdom after the orders of the Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Due to the highly contagious nature of the virus, crowded places and schools are being closed down for the sake of the containment of the disease and to break the chain that has been made.

While everyone is debating their options on how to keep their kids entertained for the period of the shutdown, this mother has all planned and thought of. She has come up with a timetable which shall be followed by the kids. It contains six one-hour lessons followed by an after-school club, with a particular focus on the home-schooling section of the curriculum. The timetable would give the kids proper play and study time and also keep them on their toes for the duration their schools are shut down.

The timetable has been worked out to the T. It starts at 9 AM with a home economics ‘food tech’ class. In this class, the kids will be taught to make a steeping cup of coffee. A perfect drink for the parents working from home. After they have perfected that coffee, they move to the next subject at 10 AM which is mechanical engineering. Here they learn how to assemble and use a shark hoover, another handy tool, and skill for sure. At 11 AM they have their P.E class which requires them to run around and take the trash out and also recycle them.

They have a two-hour free time for lunch and some fun after which they come back for the chemistry class at 1 PM. This class helps them learn about the use of bleach in the cleaning of the washroom. The 2 PM class is all about that geography. All the stuff strewn on the floor and putting them back to their places in this class. The last class they attend is a science class, where they learn how dishwashers help in removing the stains of grease on the utensils. This Miss Perfect mom didn’t forget that the after-school clubs will also be canceled, and thus had alternative activities all planned. This has the kids go to their home with their i-pad and stay quiet.

The mother shared the timetable on her Facebook feed and the post has gathered over 10,000 likes. All the commenters were super appreciative of the idea and say that they shall apply the same for their kids so that they too are able to learn about some home economics. This sure has the kids on their toes and also learns some new things which they would never be taught in school.
