Hat's off to the parents of young children, especially those with full-time jobs. Nova and Maya can go to school on Monday and Tuesday, which is great, but that still leaves three days trying to find child care and squeeze in lessons. The girls are good students, but like all kids, would much rather be playing at home. As you can see from the faces.
Yesterday Amanda was trying to supervise their lessons (above) while studying statistics for her graduate program and writing a PowerPoint presentation she has to give on Covid next week to the teachers and staff at Pateros School District. Wow.
Well, John has a new job! He's a Facetime statistics and math tutor. I think he's OK with 2nd and 6th grade arithmetic, but the statistics sessions with Amanda require quite a bit of advance study and preparation. Being John, of course he has the book and materials and set himself up with a little tutoring station in the downstairs bedroom. I can hear him right now, patiently explaining something mathematical to someone.
