Schoolcation with a Side of Piña Coladas

Due to all the conditions we have adapted to this year, I found this article quite captivating. In early spring, when the world was put in lockdown due to the coronavirus, most people were stuck inside dreaming of white sandy beaches, but not me. I was on the other side of the world sticking my feet in the clear ocean, but that was shortly put to an end. While I was supposed to be enjoying my 2-week tropical vacating to the Philippines, I ended up getting stuck in a house for 1 month before returning home to Canada. While I was article searching, I came across this one: “When Classroom Comes With Room Service and Poolside Cabanas” by Julia Weed. This article captured my attention by springing my memories. Julia Weed, the author of this blog post, thoroughly wrote an appealing article to appeal, criticize and entertain the reader. This article includes factual information as well as many references and examples of “schoolcation” development. The Great Wolf Lodge is one of the many companies to have taken on this challenge, offering socially distance learning on the resort property. Their plan was to turn conference rooms into a children’s clubhouse and open virtual classrooms. I this interesting as different states may have different school curriculum. This topic got my brain thinking and permitted me to critically think about the realisticness of this idea. Its captivating how desperate businesses are making changes and adaptations to keep the resorts up and running. It was truly shocking to see how desperate travellers can get.
