Why this season may be agony for parents who dislike home teaching

Last week Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha announced that schools would remain closed for yet another month due to the coronavirus crisis. This means children will have been home for close to four months.

There have been mixed reactions to this news. On one hand, you have the studious children who are worried that this period will blight their stellar academic records and ruin their chances of future success. On the other hand, you have the slackers who are happy to stay home, spend unlimited time on their phones while consuming copious amounts of junk food. Somewhere in this array of children, you have exasperated parents who are slowly losing it as a result of this extended period with their children.
