Back to school - again!

As part of the relaxation of lockdown in Cyprus primary age children (and those in their last year of high school) return to school today after the latest covid measures shut them all down again. We saw it coming in December as our cases were rising so it was no surprise to anyone that they did not open as planned after Christmas. Home schooling was a 100% better for us this time round, although we are so glad to see them back in today. Last year home school was a nightmare with tears and tantrums, and the kids weren't much better, but for a host of reasons this time was so much easier. I think main reason was that it was less of a shock for everyone, I wrote about getting up for school when I didn't have to and reading it again reminds me how strange everything felt back in March last year. Of course schools were not prepared and there was so much uncertainty everywhere. This time round Leo had online lessons from 8 am till 10:30 am ever...
