[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My homeschooling mom friends are all sharing advice. 
There’s a reason I don’t homeschool. I don’t have the patience.[/quote]

All the homeschooling people I know are more at risk than the non homeschoolers because they’re still going to church and taking communion[/quote]

Well, I homeschool and that’s not me or my homeschool friends. The PP who said to worry less about getting a ton done is right, IMO. Try to get some low-hanging fruit accomplished, pick the 3 things that you think are most important, and let some of the rest go. You can rotate what three things you tackle, or just decide to focus on three things. You can swap out or do part of assignments (if there a video and a worksheet, just do the video and skip the worksheet, or do the video and then have your kid make up a song about what they learned/write a short story/create a diorama, etc.). It’s even easier if you don’t have to worry about grades (aren’t trying to get your kid into a magnet program or switch into a private). At age 10, grades don’t matter.

Homeschooling is a HUGE adjustment, even without stressed parents, a pandemic, social isolation, and the teaching adults working from home. Don’t try to do it all!![/quote]
