What a fantastic decision to allow the families of frontline health workers the opportunity to attend the coming Formula One double-header in Bahrain as a ‘thank you’ for their service in these extraordinary times.
It would be great to extend that invitation to the kingdom’s educators who have been at the frontline of ensuring our children do not miss out on their vital education.
Teachers are still dealing with school re-openings and virtual classes during the Covid-19 pandemic.
They’re the first teachers to tackle a challenge like the one we’re facing now. Years from now, 2020 will be remembered as the year we all learned how to live life at a distance from each other and continue to function as a society.
I’m doing my best to support my child’s at-home learning, but in no way do I consider this ‘home-schooling’.
I’m supervising, but you, the teacher, are doing the heavy lifting. I know how hard teaching is. I’m grateful that other parents are taking a peek under the hood and seeing how much work goes into it.
The educators deserve to be acknowledged in the same way as medical staff. That reward should be tickets to the big race weekend too.
