How much homeschooling will you do over the summer?

My kid's school did hybrid. We decided to pull my kid from foreign language b/c it was too hard to learn with only 1 meeting in person a week (new language).

I am looking into getting a jump on foreign language this summer. They will be in 10th grade starting a new language.

Lots- a couple hours every day. My DD (10) is behind, and it’s my responsibility to get her where she needs to be. The schools just float the kids from grade to grade, and they don’t really notice if a kid is struggling.

I'm a prof and will use these weeks to "redo" a year in which DC learned nothing in 4th grade:

Lumos Learning (just for tests)
IXL - just to make sure we've covered all the random things up through 5th grade
Beast Academy for all math
Kilgannon books for writing
Maybe a Khan Academy science class if he likes it
Last summer he did Crash Course history classes all summer - changed his life and interests

We read books on tape together all through the year, and he is really into nature and science so we have done things related to that outside of school, and will spend more time outside this summer. He loves to write fiction stories in the summer.

I can't wait for summer. He's just staring at a screen and learning nothing for 6 hours a day. He does watch history and science videos during break so he feels he's learning something.

The worse of it is: When he goes back, he won't be learning much more than he is now. This is what the curriculum is. It has nothing to do with remote learning!!!!

I only supplement math and reading in the summer- no homeschooling. For my rising 10th grader, I will be teaching the high school health curriculum to get that graduation requirement out of the way while more academic classes are off.
