Home schooling is not the same

as being required to keep your child at home because schools are closed.
If you have not chosen to home school your child then there is no reason to feel anxious or guilty about your failings as a teacher. There is no need to worry about what your child is or is not doing. 
Schools in this state are open again. Medical advice is that children should be back at school - with extra attention to health and hygiene and certain other measures. 
The paediatrician across the road has sent her two boys back to school and to (part-time) day care. She will monitor them and the situation closely but she thinks they are better off there.
We have now had a run of five virus free days in this state. The problem is not over, not by a long way. It does mean though that school is considered "safe".
Still, they have said that parents need to make that choice. 
I went (with caution) to the supermarket yesterday - and did a much larger shop than usual before having it delivered. Ahead of me a woman was talking to the girl at the check out. They included me in the conversation when the girl at the check out said I had been a teacher. 
This woman has four teenage children, the eldest in the final year of school. They have all been home for some weeks. They are old enough to work independently and they have been.
    "All I need to do is discreetly check that they are not running into difficulties. I know they are doing the work," this woman told me.
She agreed she had been "incredibly fortunate" that her four teenagers are motivated enough to do what has been required of them. Indeed the oldest does not want to go back to school because he feels he is achieving a lot more from home.
Ms W feels the same way. She simply gets on with whatever she needs and wants to do. She likes the quiet of working at home alone  - and she can be trusted to do it. Not all students can. Many of them are much less interested and far less motivated. It does not make them poor students. Find something that captures their attention and they will listen and work on it. 
None of the teachers I know are expecting miracles of piles of neatly completed and (mostly) correct assignments. They are simply hoping for evidence of some work done and something more than hours spent playing computer games.
Parents should feel the same.
