[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at the response of school/government/unions and what is happening with covid-19 (both in terms of spread and vaccine/treatment development), I think it's probable that full DL will be in place for years where we live. I am of course desperately hoping I am wrong. However, my default assumption at this point is that the earliest there will be some form of in-person learning will be fall 2022. (I don't want to debate the politics behind this in this thread. Please just assume in this thread that for whatever reason, full DL will exist until at least fall 2022.)

My kids are older (middle/HS) with SNs that were well-managed pre-DL. But DL was very challenging for them due to SNs. They were/are good students, but I would say that they learned a fraction of what they usually learn in spring DL. I am particularly worried about depression in one teen.

With that background, what would you do? I am trying to brainstorm what I should do. Our jobs can be done remotely but not easily out of the US.

Thanks!

I would consider
--hiring a teacher/tutor to come to your home for several hours each day
--having a parent take leave or quit to be able to focus on the school work
--consider moving to a rural area where school is more likely to be in-person[/quote]
