Show of hands- how many of you are helping your kids with remote learning?

My daughter has had to move her hours around to be able to do it.

Hope she has help!

Her SIL lives close and I do what I can.

Last school year...ended May 2020. 

Why are you so particular and nosey?

 

Why are you so particular and nosey about me and about everything I do?  It’s as if you're stalking me on here!  Oh, wait, it’s the other way around, isn’t it?

Yeah... that's what I'm hearing too. My daughter's friend's mother has a first-grader and they're ignoring the schedule and telling the kids when to come back from breaks and such. It's not happening. 

My youngest is in fourth and it's doing us in. The assignments are scattered across five or six different platforms and there are no written instructions about what they need to be doing where. The teacher will tell them to do something and then log off for an hour or so. If my son misses which platform it's on, we're SOL. I sent a note to the teacher a week ago during school hours asking what platform to look for an assignment on. I didn't hear back for three days, at which point, the teacher told me, "Your son isn't listening, so he's missing stuff." He didn't even tell me where the assignment was- just complained that my son wasn't listening. Well, no sh*t, Sherlock. How about filling in the gaps for me so I can at least get him to the assignments???  ARGH! I've become a raging monster. 

The worst part, this is a teacher my daughter (now in 7th) had for two years and we LOVED him with in-person learning. He's not a bad person and he's usually a great teacher. But, oh man, put him online and we might as well have a trained monkey dancing for seven hours a day for all the good he's doing. 

Sounds like that same thing is going on everywhere. 
You would think the teachers would have at least a webpage that lists assignments and answer messages.   

We had online homework for my youngest 2 in high school. Homework was all listed on Blackboard and teachers would even answer messages after school hours. I do not know if the difference is because of high school vs elementary.

I do wonder if some of the teachers are just mad about having to do the virtual school. 

My daughter has even mentioned going to the k12.com program. Which is all online public schooling. But I think that was more if she felt tgat this was going to be an A for logging in year. Which was what last 2 months of the school year was. This post was edited by my2cents at September 9, 2020 6:13 AM MDT
