ABSTRACT

The study brings experiences experienced in the family and school context, in the face of the challenges and possibilities

of improvements in teaching learning in the modality with remote education, in a reality imposed by the health crisis of

the COVID-19 pandemic. The introduction contemplates the unfolding of the general observations and the challenges of

mothers in assuming various functions simultaneously, such as domestic work, the education of children through remote

education and still perform formal work. The first topic contains reports of mothers, which occurred in a public school in

the interior of Ceará, witnessed by the author of this paper, a teacher in the said school. The mothers talked about their

anguish with the education of their children. The predominant complaints are about the behavior of children when they

must teach school activities. It can be noted that mothers are very distressed by not mastering the skills necessary for

teaching. However, they present inappropriate behaviors, often arising from the absence of dialogues and the imposition

of limits, when necessary. From these reports, we reflect on educational social skills and the importance of these skills

in the education of educators, seeking to understand the charges that mothers began to receive on the formal education

of their children in the context of the pandemic. Finally, we discuss the role of the school and education professionals in

promoting learning, aiming at possibilities in softening the emotional impacts suffered by mothers, teachers, and students.
