[quote=Anonymous]MS and HS: My kids have been doing it and really enjoy it actually. Most classes they log into google meet or zoom and see the teacher's face, interact with classmates by voice or chat. Those are the best. They all have their text books and dated assignment sheets, and I think as a class they are only one day behind in a few classes. They have the regular load of homework too. So far the only thing they are not doing are quizzes and tests, but I think there is a plan for that coming.

It is a full day, so we don't see a need to add anything on our own, and we have been able to do our own WFH stuff. They haven't needed our help for anything yet, except uploading one art project. DC will also need some help setting up the camera to face time the instrumental teacher to play for him.

During their PE and team sports times, we have them working out in the basement or just getting fresh air in the yard with some spring yard work, car washing, etc. We'll probably scout out an isolated spot for an after school hike if we can (one DC is at risk). They have had plenty of time to gather on line with friends to 'virtual hang out' too.

For us the key to success has been keeping the schedule the same as the school day rotation, otherwise they would start to feel (and act) like they are being forced to do homework on vacation. So far they really do seem to feel like it is a regular school day, and they are accountable to teachers for their timely work, not just us parents -- that makes a huge difference.[/quote]
