The schools will be shutting the kids are all glad
How hard will it be being taught by mum or dad
How hard can it be to teach your own child?

The crack in the calmness are starting to show

The answers are the same, but the methods have changed
How hard can it be to add numbers together?
But the methods now used seem to take forever
The online support appears to continually fail
As more work arrives via the teachers e mail
Your Childs resistance continues to harden
So, you give up and go out and play in the garden
