If not for my DD’s love of cross-country, I’d be homeschooling for certain.
But XC is her happy place, and we’ve agreed that if XC happens (there’s a slight possibility they’ll hold races with staggered starts like Nordic ski), then the kids will do school whether it’s distance or hybrid. That’s because we live in a state that does not allow homeschoolers to participate in school athletics.
If there’s no cross-country, which is looking likely, we’re homeschooling.
I’ll put together interdisciplinary units of study based on my younger one’s interests that address all the state’s grade 4 benchmarks. It would be better if we had a pod of a few families to have a learning community...but I don’t feel comfortable exposing others. I just went back to my office and am one of a handful (out of 50 or so) who masks consistently.
For my high schooler, her assignment next week while I’m at work is to research what she needs to do to be eligible to take the end-of-year subject exams and how she can do dual credit (HS/college) as a homeschooler.
Great. But that’s not relevant to most families. I find this whole thing insulting to teachers - I don’t know how to teach my kid!
It is a skill that is learned and honed over the course of a career - I can’t just google my way through this!
