[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the “you just don’t want to parent your kids” posters are:

1) teachers who want to work from home longer....and look I get it, I’m a teacher. It was pretty nice working from home in the spring. I’m a private school teacher so I’m back now

2) hyper competitive mommies who a few years back were bragging on their EBF or sleep trained babies [/quote]

I actually have two students in an online private high school and I do not believe for a second that 2) is broadly realistic at all. I have been a learning coach for my two children for two years before the pandemic. I know well how this arrangement is not right for many families. I work from home, part time, and have the education and time to provide learning coach support to my children. They are also highly motivated, like DL, do activities outside of school that require some flexibility in their schedules, and this works for them, but it would not be right for every solid student. We also move for my DH's work every few years, so we like the consistency of keeping them at one school with a strong curriculum while we move from one city to another. It's a lifestyle and it's not a judgement that one student thrives in it and one does not. I would be the first person to say that it is not right for everyone.[/quote]
