[quote=Anonymous]DS's school is the worst.  It's 4 hours a day of the teacher reading aloud from a slide show, then several hours of homework.  All the assignments are multi-step projects that take several weeks to finish and have no clear instructions.  DS is in 6th grade.  He is miserable and depressed.  He is refusing even to log in to class and throws a fit whenever my husband or I try to get him to do some of the homework.  My husband says my son is lazy and gets angry at me for not somehow fixing this situation, and I get angry back, and we are completely stressed and unhappy.  The school could not care less.  There is no understanding or "grace" on their end.  My son is now failing everything.  He was a very good student before DL.  He is enrolled in some outschool classes and does very well in those, because there is an actual person teaching and not just a slide show and a bunch of Google decks. He will work with strangers online, but will do nothing at all with me or his father. I sometimes can get a tutor to help him get his work done for the school.  But I can't get enough outschool tutors often enough to get enough done that he won't be failing.  I wish I could just find a daily online tutor - any high school kid with a good personality would do - to go through the Google classroom with him and help him get some of the assignments done.  But I can't find that.  Any suggestions for something like that?  Commiseration welcome, but please I don't need snarky comments or insults right now.  [/quote]
