When I Ended Up Tutoring Siblings English Reading and Writing

Despite having started off watching Khuda Aur Muhabbat on YouTube. We didn’t even start ’cause I was triggered into seating ’em down into studying via Education.com Also, ’Tis summer vacation now.

Let’s get one thing straight. I’m my siblings’ SISTER and NOT their MOTHER. My responsibility is to add to their childhood by cultivating happy memories w/ me and the one another in it for them to feel nostalgic ‘bout when they grow up.

My responsibility is NOT to tutor them and if I ever do so, ’Tis out of my own free will and not because I have to. I’m currently feelin’ VERY frustrated at being told that the kids have not been studyin’ properly [1] ever since lockdown started [2] and T/ I “should” sit ’em down to study after brekky instead of watch an EDUCATIONAL 30-minutes episode w/ them.

Now, I don’t get why ’Tis so hard for people to understand and WHY IN THE WORLD were we not taught T/ there are different types of education: Formal, Informal and Non-formal and we need to get a healthy, passable amount of ALL the above.

[1] Proper study = 8+ hours of back-back to study of subjects T/ the kids may or may not even be interested in. What shit!!? As much as I advocate education, I’m not blind. I clearly see the fault in our current education system and I strongly, strongly believe T/ we need to tend to children’s interests rather than bore ’em to death w/ details [3] of non-essential subjects and classes.

[2] Lockdown started in the freakin’ past and if there is one thing T/ drives me bonkers. ’Tis both my own self & other people complaining ‘bout the what didn’t happen (Kids’ study progress [4], in this case). Also, ’Tis summer vacation now. They really DO NOT need to study for same amount of time T/ they do during school year and I get buggered when our mothers [5] expect us to continue the exact SAME study habits from school.

[3] I only study/ learn what I feel like I need to… (Further reflection required).

[4] Ugh… progress. I’ve grown to believe T/ there’s honestly no going backward in life. So, even when one feels like they’re stuck/ stagnant… They’re actually progressing and results of T/ progress may manifest at a later time in their life, but trust T/ ’Tis happening. One is learning and accumulating experiences (including ones of being clinically depressed for weeks) always and T/ is progress. Sure doesn’t feel like it at times (I couldn’t know better), but ’Tis (Progress) happening.

Conclusion: Therefore, I don’t think the kids made NO progress in their studies or T/ they didn’t learn ANYTHING (despite being locked in for weeks and lazing ‘bout playing games and watching YouTube videos ’cause I see ’em today. And they really couldn’t be better educated for their ages.
[5] Our moms [6] are the absolute best and I love ’em so very much for the unique women they are and what they bring into our upbringing from their life lessons and individual personalities. Regardless, I’m not blind (again 😅) and I see their imperfections.

[6] Finally, I say mom(s) because sibs = sibs and sibling-like cousins and moms = mama + mama’s sis. TMI? 🤣 Ah well! I feel better after writing and T/ is what imma focus on instead of whatever you felt after (maybe even) reading this post.
