Rebecca Judd raises questions she’s still sending her children to school despite working from home – but it turns out there’s a very sensible explanation
She has spent the past few weeks home schooling her children after education facilities closed in Victoria due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But Rebecca Judd raised eyebrows on Tuesday when she shared a video to Instagram that appeared to show her three-year-old twin sons, Tom and Darcy, heading off to school.
She captioned the footage: ‘Woohoo sayonara for the day. Seeya at 3pm.’

The boys looked ready for a day of learning in their uniforms, but it turns out they weren’t actually leaving the house.
Rebecca’s children attend a private school in Melbourne that encourages parents and students to stick to a routine when it comes to home schooling.
This includes children wearing their uniforms during ‘virtual classes’.

The Victorian government has encouraged all school students in the state to stay at home and learn remotely – but there are some exemptions.
Children can go to school if their parent is an essential worker or if their home is not a safe environment.
Rebecca revealed earlier this month that she had given up on home schooling and was now letting her son Oscar, eight, supervise his younger sister Billie, six.

She shared a photo to her Instagram Story of her two eldest children reading, and joked in the caption that she had ‘done her time’.
‘I’ve trained Oscar up to listen to Billie’s Fitzroy Reader homework and I’m hoping Billie will be able to do the same with the twins in a couple of years, too,’ she wrote.
‘I’ve done my time with these readers – time to pass the baton on.’
