The other day I saw a post on Twitter by a person who was trying to help her child with some Kindergarten schoolwork. Since school is closed now because of the virus, parents are trying to keep their kids up to speed at home. Kindergarten work should be child's play, right?
Not true at all.
I was curious about what the worksheet was trying to teach, so I sent the tweet to our daughter, who is a Kindergarten teacher. She figured it out instantly. She didn't have to think about it twice. Her Twitter account is private, so her response couldn't be read by the person posing the problem. A few hours (and a few dozen confused answers) later, I thought it might be a good idea to share Rachel's answer, which I quoted from her private tweet.
During the next day or two we watched the response get dozens, and then hundreds of "likes", and then the number of "likes" reached 1,600!
[I refuse to use that "v" word to describe what was happening.]
And now the whole discussion has made it to a post on Distractify. "Twitter user Elaine" is me.
