21 hilarious cries for help from parents trying to homeschool during COVID-19
Most of us would have never have dreamed that our jobs as parents would suddenly get so much harder. That we̵7;d be stuck at home due to a pandemic, physically distancing from everyone we love, without child care, without school — and {{{GULP}}} put in charge of homeschooling our kids. This task certainly wasn̵7;t discussed in all those parenting books.
Here are 21 tweets from parents who didn̵7;t choose to homeschool their kids. And probably for good reason. Stick a fork in us, we̵7;re done.

2. Elementary school math wasn̵7;t part of the deal.
3. Let alone ̷0; middle school math!
4. Not even sure this counts as education.
5. Our kids are having to get creative.
6. And we̵7;re getting, um, creative too.

9. But mostly ̷0; we don̵7;t, uh, got this.

11. And we̵7;re finding out we̵7;re not equipped.

16. It̵7;s very possible we̵7;re the wrong people for this job.
17. Seriously, what has become of this school?

18. Give. Teachers. All. The. Raises.
19. Is this a bad time?
20. How do we get off this wild ride?
21. Or maybe, just maybe, we can find a good lesson in here somewhere.
