[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why everyone is so mad at PP for waking up at 4:30 every day. 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. 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.[/quote] I'm glad that schedule worked for PP, but it's a model that only works if you have a spare bedroom (many kids are doubled up before covid), at least two adults in the home, and a job that can be "toggled" in terms of hours. There are a ton of Arlington families who don't check those boxes, and I'm appalled that PP is putting her solution out there as some sort of model. [/quote]
