[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a homeschooler and this is literally the opposite of how homeschooling works. I encourage her to be comfortable. We are at *home*. Wear your pajamas, do your math on the couch... or in your treehouse. Who cares? We have discussions all day long...

Most homeschoolers believe in connection over curriculum. Meaning, your relationship with your child is your #1 priority and everything else falls into place when that relationship is well nurtured.

Virtual learning is not homeschooling. Not even close. [/quote]

This!

I have twin k and a 4th grader this year.  2/3 have been wearing pjs for the last two weeks, and the third is wearing princess dress up gowns.  They sit wherever they want, except for handwriting practice (I want them to have proper posture and arm position for handwriting, so it has to be at a table).  One of my k is practicing rote counting while jumping on the trampoline.  My 4th grader uses a standing desk and the treadmill on a slow walk while she reads.  The other k hangs off the couch with her head next to my foot while I read, or she’s crawling over the back and accidentally elbowing my ear when we’re doing subtraction word problems orally (to her, it’s just telling stories, so there’s no reason to hold still and think it out).

I love homeschooling.  Even if I hated it, it would be better to give a k child an extra year of play instead of forcing zoom for hours, especially without an adult in person to help.[/quote]
