My kids, like most or all of your kids, have been learning "remotely" since March 2020. CPS (Chicago Public Schools) has a plan to return on February 1st 2021. We have all been looking forward to that for a very long time.
It's not exactly that we're sick of each other, but that it would simply be nice to spend some regularly scheduled time apart.
However, there is definitely going to be a cost to everything going "back to normal."
Today, I took a picture of my daughter working on her iPad with our dog asleep at her feet. That will be a thing of the past. Eating lunch together. Hearing what they're learning. Seeing the teachers on the screen along with the other students. It has been a rare peek into the school lives our my children.
So, if you're like me and the kids will be going back soon, make sure you take a few pictures - both with your camera and with your mind. We will not get this time back. It will be a time that we look back on fondly in many ways. We'll miss the time that we spent a year together.
