School in a time of Covid-19? Allow social media to paint you a picture

After much confusion about when schools would actually re-open following a mid-week education portfolio committee meeting, the country found itself having to imagine what school life would look like for South African learners whenever they return.

While the thought of kids jokingly coughing on one another is enough to make any parent’s blood run cold, social media seems to think school in a time of Covid-19 might result in some funny scenarios.

Take a look:

" Ma'am Lethabo coughed on me because I didin want to borrow him my pencil " 😭😭 yohwe what a time for bullies
