About 584,000 students are due back in classrooms today, and a million-odd parents will breathe a sigh of relief when they go.

In the beginning, remote learning was a novelty for Sophie McCowan and her son, Henry.

“He’s a real creature of habit, he likes to see his school friends and his teachers at school. He doesn't cope with seeing them on a screen or on Zoom,” Ms McCowan said. About 584,000 students are due back in classrooms on Monday, and a million-or-so parents will breathe a sigh of relief when they go.

“We didn't do it the last week of term three either because she’d just had enough. We tried to get online on the Monday and she just kept swearing and taking herself off mute and calling the teacher a f---ing idiot.”Ms Renton is founder of SWAN , a support group for parents and carers of children with rare and undiagnosed genetic conditions.

Just hoping cases don’t rise in 2 weeks.

Really? They’re due back on a Sunday?

I hope all those parents appreciate the work teachers do and show it by believing them and trusting them.

Does the State Opposition support this How do we find the leader to ask ? A sound idea. People would appreciate the opportunity to help balance the mental anguish created from this lockdown.
