Consider beginning a new school year

I WOULD like to draw everyone’s attention to the predicament faced by all schoolchildren (and their teachers) over the last 16 months or so while we have been undergoing various levels of lockdowns during this Covid-19 pandemic. Face-to-face interaction between teacher and student has been forfeited and they have had to resort to online classes.

From my own observation of my two children, I have serious doubts about how much children are learning and I have no doubt at all that they are missing out on important aspects of face-to-face interaction with their teachers and peers.
