[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 children in elementary school. I also work a full-time, demanding job which has been all telework since March. In the morning, I get the kids set up with their materials at their work stations, make sure everyone is logged in, and then I go to my bedroom to work at my desk. Every 20 minutes, I either get an email from a teacher asking me for something ("Can you help them upload this?" "Where is their pamphlet? They say they can't find it." "Can you move them to a higher desk so I can see their face?" "They haven't completed X, Y, or Z. Can you make them do that?") I mean, it is unrelenting. I am falling so far behind at work because I can't get a stretch of more than 20-30 minutes of work done at a time that I'm considering pulling the kids out of school to "homeschool" them completely. I cannot take the constant teacher bombardment. I have told all of their teachers explicitly that I am extremely busy, can help if it's an emergency, but there are responsibilities I have at work that cannot be pushed aside. It happened today to a really extensive degree, and I have a huge deadline tomorrow, so I'll be working through the night because of the disruptions from the teachers. Is there a way for me to reiterate this without being rude (because I'm almost to the point of being rude)?[/quote]
