The ongoing Coronavirus pandemic—as scary and devastating as it is—has also had some surprisingly good side effects. After an eternity of futile discussions on how to tackle homelessness, fear of the virus spreading to the homeless population has forced lawmakers to take immediate action to get them off the streets. Over in China, the shutdown resulted in an unprecedented drop in air pollution levels with many citizens revealing that the sky has been clearer than they can recall. Italy—the second-worst affected country—has also seen a significant improvement in air quality and a huge difference in the clarity of the water in Venice's famous canals



 

 

Another unforeseen outcome of the pandemic that has resulted in nationwide school closures is parents realizing just how underrated teachers are. Those who can afford to work from home are now faced with the task of educating their offsprings at home as well and for many, the experience is turning out to be a wakeup call on why the role of a teacher is no walk in the park. This newfound respect for those who've devoted their lives to shaping young minds has also made these temporary homeschoolers realize and accept that teachers deserve to make a lot more money than they currently do.



 

 

Just hours into their new job, caregivers across the nation were ready to declare all teachers as national treasures and rightfully so. Millions of parents and guardians who have grown accustomed to sending their children to traditional schools are just grasping how unprepared they are for a world without teachers. Many took to Twitter to share their homeschooling fails, some simply accepted that their kids probably aren't going to learn much until schools reopen and decided to have some fun.
