[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 13-year-old is doing ok with online learning, seems to be finishing her assignements (although for some reason they take until 5-6 pm). My 11-year-old, however, is a disaster. She insists on staying in her room with the door shut so she can get on Teams undisturbed. I will check in with her every hour or two, and she has done *nothing*--no online lesson done, her paper packet barely touched. But she will insist she was watching a teacher video and is about to tackle something. Probably she's been watching youtube and chatting with friends the whole time. I think she has ADD and I did not see it until now.

I've pretty much given up on social studies or science but I would like her to get her iReady lessons done so she'll be ready for middle school math.

I work full time and need to be at my computer from around 9-5 pm, so I can't supervise her more closely. I am at a loss for what to do. I thought about an online tutor, but the tutor would need to see her computer screen and I can't quite see that working.

Any suggestions? [/quote]

OP, your 11 year old doesn’t get to call the shots. You’re the boss. Starting today, she works right next to you at the kitchen table until she shows you her work is done. Otherwise, I’d let her know she gets to repeat the grade next year.[/quote]
