I've been surprised. My families are amazing and the kids are too. I have to force kids to leave because they don't want to leave class. Go figure. Kids are learning so quickly.

My kid is one of those kids who doesn’t want to leave. She’s so happy to be back in school.

And I bet she tries to answer all the questions, dominates the chat, and bothers all the other kids. YOUR kid is ruining DL for my shy kid.

Whoa, nasty lady. Just because her kid doesn't like school doesn't mean she is dominating the class. You need to back up and back down. Sounds like your kid has your problems in reverse. Maybe she has learned to stay outta momma's way and is now staying outta everyone's way!?! Either way there is no need to be so mean to the other poster. YOU are probably ruining it for YOUR KID.

Try plugging the computer into the tv set with an HDMI cord. Maybe that will make it easier for them.

Anyway, our first week was a success, too, OP.

You don't understand how the families with younger kids can't make it work? I don't have young kids but it doesn't take much imagination to see the challenges the families would have, especially if they can't afford a tutor or learning center.

PP is purposely dense. It doesn't take a background in developmental psychology to understand why putting young children in front of a lecturing figure they've never met before on a computer screen for 4-5 hours is a lazy option. Very few children are auditory learners, most K and 1st grade kids are still kinesthetic learners, that's why young children in programs like Montessori and Reggio tend to thrive.
