Wow! Can I identify with today's BOOK OF THE DAY, "Home School Hell With Saint Corona Up To Bat: A Widowed Father's 70 Days In E-Learning Captivity," by Dave Heilmann. Here is why. I retired after 21 years of being a teacher, principal and a central office administrator in 2001. So, I say I know a little something about teaching. Now, COVID-19 hit, and my grandchildren are being homeschooled by their mother, with the help of the school during Zoom classes. How hard can that be? Wait! Let me tell you, those teachers aren't making enough money, and parent, they're about to pull their hair out. When my daughter has to work, guess who gets to be in charge of homeschooling class supervision? ME! I think if you're a parent or guardian homeschooling your kids, you're going to enjoy this break in reality. Take a look at today's BOOK OF THE DAY!
Home School Hell With Saint Corona Up To Bat: A Widowed Father's 70 Days In E-Learning Captivity Paperback – September 17, 2020
by Dave Heilmann (Author)
Home School Hell is for every parent
sentenced to remote learning prison, where the simple task of educating our
children at home is like catching a murder hornet.
Laugh-out-loud
funny, this book wryly captures the humorous daily struggles of a widowed
father of four young children. Common Core math, lice shampoo in the eyes,
infected Monopoly dice, and Styrofoam heads for pop bottle projects are only
the beginning of the chaotic adventures, many of which are now all too familiar
to parents turned remote learning teachers.
In
between laughs is a poignant letter to his wife, telling her what has happened
here on Earth, and how in the year 2020, when everything stopped, we had a
better chance to see. The value of a teacher. The courage of those who risk
their lives to save ours. The unfairness of disease. How we need hugs, lots of
hugs. The gift of time. And the power of humor in the most difficult moments of
our lives.
It’s
a book not only for parents but every person in this country right now who
could really use a smile.
