[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me too.  Hate, hate, hate it.

Got a message from my kid's teacher that he's not turning the video on for Zoom calls.  I have a job and simply can't monitor that.  And kid (5th grader) knows that nothing this quarter is being graded, so he doesn't think he should bother with any of the distance learning stuff.  He knows he is getting an A (school is averaging all grades from the 1st 3 quarters, and he has straight As), and said straight out that even if he got a D, that a D in 5th grade during a pandemic isn't going to change any aspect of his life.  And he's right.  I can't argue with that.  [/quote]

+1000.  As a homeschooling parent, my kids would be idiots if I allowed an attitude like that.  Learning can happen anywhere, anytime,  in this day and age.  It may be different, but in some ways it is much easier to attain knowledge when not in a school building.    This philosophy has been a godsend for my kids because they understand they can continue learning throughout their lives and they know how to do it even without a formal "class".  [/quote]

Zoom sucks, especially for elementary kids.  My two girls are handling it pretty well but they have a lot of complaints about the behavior of other kids, which is affecting them.  Additionally, they're not used to sitting down in front of a screen, so it isn't their first choice for learning.  I don't think OP's kid is going to be an idiot if he doesn't participate, I think he's probably at the end of his rope dealing with online school and is weighing the consequences of not participating.  You just sound rigid and annoying, homeschool mom.  But good for you that you're so prepared for what's happening.  [/quote]
