[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends a lot on your individual child at this age.

Our first grader is having a hard time. He struggles with not being routinely called on, and yet trying to still feel engaged and pay attention. We have to sort of co-teach with the teachers--listening to what they are saying and repeating it back to him, ensuring he is reading/writing/doing whatever they are prompting instead of zoning out or opening other things and programs on his iPad or entertaining himself with random coloring, etc. He is a very social kid, and a lot of what motivated him with regards to school was the ability to see and interact with other kids and his teachers, and the ways in which virtual learning restricts that has been very hard on him.

For us, it is a full time job to support him in this way. We are considering applying for private next year, because we are scared of being on a round of repeat, and this whole situation has immensely stressed our own jobs, marriage, and family dynamics as we push our child to try and stay engaged and focused on virtual learning.
