In a feel-good news story for our nation’s parents, one big aspect of life is getting set to go back to normal.
With the announcement that schools in NSW, South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania will re-open full time on Monday, and staged re-openings already taking place across other parts of the country, the nation’s parents are eagerly looking forward to wiping their hands of their children’s 9-5 behaviour.
“Fuckkkkkk,” sighed local mother of three Janice Watkins this afternoon.
“It’s going to be so good not to have to deal with the fact we’ve struggled to impose meaningful boundaries on our children while constantly wrapping them in cotton wool physically and emotionally,” explained Watkins.
“I can’t wait for the kids to go back to school and it to become the teacher’s problem again,” chimed in her working from home husband who tries to treat the kids like his best friends in the whole world.
When asked why they didn’t want to take the issue on themselves, the couple explained it’s so much easier to just palm it off to the teachers, they said.
“Why would we want to look inwards and talk about whether we have made and are making some mistakes with our parenting,” they laughed.
“We much prefer to push it out of eyesight and blame it on their teachers and the school,” Janice said.
“And if we get bored of that then we just blame it on some other issue like video games,” continued her husband.
We contacted one local teacher about the return, and while they said the usual about teachers having the hardest job in the world, she said she was looking forward to not having to constantly battle to get pornography off the Zoom screen.
