The lockdown made by UK and many other nations had made parents to balance their work and take care of their children’s education. Most of the parents are working from home and at the same time they have to do the unenviable task of home-schooling their kids. Candice Kennedy is one of those parents who had to balance her professional and personal life.

Until a further notice is provided, it can’t be known how long it will last. The responsibility to continue with the education of the kids now lies on the shoulders of the parents. Candice tried to home-school her son by trying to bring classroom to her home. But her gesture was fiercely criticized by her son and she found out that her techniques weren’t up to the usual standards.

This US resident received a harsh dose of reality in just one day while trying to be both, a mother as well as a teacher, to her 8-year-old son, Ben. She found out her son’s dairy, where he made an entry and evaluated his mother’s efforts. He wrote that it was not going well. He could notice his mother being stressed in trying to handle both work and his studies. He continued that his mother was getting really confused. So, they took a break, so that her mother could figure out this stuff and gain clarity. At the end, he said, “I’m telling you it is not going good.”

She shared her son’s honest and hilarious review on Facebook by posting a photo of the entry in the dairy. She wrote the caption, “You all, I’m dying. This is Ben’s journal entry from Monday about our first ‘home-school’ day. That last sentence.” She even used a hashtag in the caption that read, ‘#8yearoldcalledmeout’. From the time the post has been shared, it has received more than 278,000 shares and 14,000 comments. Many people were able to relate to the struggle as they all were facing the same issue while being quarantined at home.

Many such parents came forward and shared their story in the comment section. One person replied that she screamed a lot today while teaching her kid. Now her head was hurting and it was only day one. Another person said that she could completely relate to the story. She said that the kids were sent home with a packet and there were no instructions. As everyone has a different method of teaching, she taught her kids in a certain way which did not quite match with her kid’s teacher’s techniques. So, she went forward and continued teaching in her way as there were no instructions. But in the end, it was a good week for her.

Another person wrote that the same scenario actually did happen in their house too. A fourth person said laughing that it would be her children and she wondered how Candice was managing this.

Many parents all over the world are facing the similar situation. Till the time this quarantine period lasts, lets hope the studies of the kids are not affected and the efforts of the parents to home school gets successful.
