In their Happy Islanders vlog posted on Wednesday, Aug. 28, Eigenmann turned emotional as she announced her daughter’s decision to return to school in the metro.
“I’m very sad; Ellie’s going to be going to Manila. She’s going to be staying with her dad because she wants to try going back to regular school,” shared the actress. Ellie was homeschooled since the pandemic but has experienced face-to-face school during her pre-school to 3rd grade.
According to Eigenmann, with things returning to normal, her daughter started “craving” to return to regular school. “When everything started going back to normal after the pandemic, Ellie craved for a school setup that was more normal for her. I love homeschooling.
It’s been my dream since I was still studying. I’ve always thought that a homeschool setup would be a great way for me to learn and for my kids as well,” explained the actress. “But that’s the thing and that’s the point of all of this is that it’s not about me; it’s about the learner and as for Ellie, that’s what works better for her and as a parent, all I can do is, you know, guide her into making decisions that will be for her benefit, not mine, even if it’s.
