[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By homeschool, do you mean follow your school district’s online learning?  Or actually homeschool them separately?  We’d consider the latter if learning is all online again in the Fall.  It was an utter disaster for our K and 2nd graders.  At least if we truly homeschool, we could set their schedule.[/quote]

Either but more likely the former. I could see myself pushing off lessons if I get pressure from work to complete something asap. DH's job is even more demanding than mine. I've thought about true homeschooling, but it's never something I've even considered prior to Covid. I'm not a school teacher and don't even want to try to be one. There's a reason why teachers are required to have master's degrees in most places. [/quote]

But much of teaching kids is classroom management, which isn’t an issue in true homeschooling.  That, plus the flexibility of approaches, makes it far more appealing than the cluster that was MCPS distance learning, at least for us.  I’m biased because I took some courses in education in undergrad, but homeschooling young elementary kids is WAY different than teaching an entire classroom full of kids.[/quote]
