SINGAPORE - It is not just my two older kids who enjoy their fortnightly home-based learning (HBL) day, I look forward to it too. Read more at straitstimes.com.

I'm rarely able to help them with their work, so they usually go to their friends or teachers if they need help.After doing interviews for the stories on HBL, I concluded that I enjoy it so much because my kids are both independent when it comes to their learning.Apart from the occasional reminder about completing their assignments, I do not check on them or their work.I think they feel better knowing that mum is on their side.

In hindsight, being a"mean" mum when they were younger has helped to ease us into the transition of secondary school and, more recently, HBL day. Apart from getting to spend time with them at home, I appreciate the technology they are exposed to, the adaptability that has been honed in them to make remote learning possible when they are not in school.

To me, school will always be there and they have nine out of 10 days a fortnight to learn in a physical classroom.
