I would have worked with it. I've always loved spending time with my children. I'm a parent first. And he was a sped student btw. |
Too bad there wasn't a pandemic 12 years ago to have improved your quality of life. |
We are working with it but it probably wouldn’t have been ideal for you either if you were in a dual working parent household with a non-reading kindergartner doing virtual learning. |
I'm just saying that I wouldn't whine and complain about having more time with my children. |
That’s what you think but I don’t think it’s true if you had to work and they were in K and you couldn’t supervise virtual learning. |
People who want schools to reopen aren't whining and complaining about having more time with their kids, and that should be obvious. They are concerned about the detrimental effects of distance learning ON THEIR KIDS. I love having extra time with my kids and my kids are enjoying the extra family time. That 100% doesn't change my stance that my first grader especially needs in-person learning, and it would be better for my third grader. I mean that even if concurrent looks like DL-in-a-classroom. |
Please go get a job. Your child is gone, you are no longer a SAHM. |
So defensive!! Wow. Why is it so difficult for you all to consider other people's opinions? Interesting. Typical entitled NOVA brats. |
I noticed you didn't deny it. Find something more productive to do with your time rather than pretending you have any clue what we are dealing with. |
You're all to easy to wind up. I'm surprised that you have time to post considering you're ALL SO STRESSED with jobs and children to manage. How do you ever find the time... |
Well we are all clear how you have the time. |
Do you know what the word is for posters who post to intentionally wind people up? |
Yeah, I WFH and have a first grader right outside the door. I see/hear the completely crappy education he's getting (not the teacher's fault...it's DL's fault) that he's not even paying attention to. When we go back next school year, he'll have to re-learn how to be a classroom student (what he originally learned in Kindergarten). |
Yeah. Classroom behavior, especially ES, is going to be atrocious when they go back. Good luck ES teachers! |
Yeah, sorry, I don’t buy it. Kids are resilient and their brains are plastic. Also, you protest a bit too much — your use of the word “detrimental” and “on kids” in all caps seem like you are parroting a talking point you read in “Psychology Today.” I see a very valiant attempt to seem noble and unselfish — too valiant to be sincere. |
