[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't understand why everyone is so mad at PP for waking up at 4:30 every day. [/b] That's an example of a (pretty hardcore) schedule that worked for them.  I've made similar sorts of sacrifices to support at home learning and my kids are okay though it has been a slog.  I *have* had to be involved and a general supervisory presence; hands off had not worked, we found that out early on.

[i]It does seem like a lot of the voices you hear complaining about schools not being fully open yet might have more successful children in virtual if the parents who complain over here for 2 hours a day would spend that time with their kids instead[/i].[/quote]

It's not the bolded.  It's a combination of being smug, out of touch, and completely unaware of how hostile she actually is, i.e., not "thriving."

As to the italicized, that's the same gaslighting nonsense we've heard from PP and others like her who claim that the success of virtual school is largely about "attitude" and not, you know, children's brain development or the appropriateness of 5+ hours a day of Zoom or parents' ability to have total control over their schedules or any number of things.

Really, the bottom line at this point is that anyone (still!) heavily invested in criticizing people who struggled with DL (1) is not thriving and (2) needs to stuff it.  Have some compassion, FFS.

Also they are incredibly selfish in face of the enormous educational loss the most vulnerable kids have suffered.

I have been strongly against school closures not because of my own life (my kids did well and I liked having them home) but because I can see what it has done to a huge, huge cohort of vulnerable children. In other words I think about kids other than my own, which the gaslighting PPs don't.[/quote]
