[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got sour elementary schedule; 8:30-3:15!!! How are parents supposed to work and support the kids? I was hoping it would be a structured half day and less structured other half to make this challenging situation a little easier.....[/quote]

You are not - the kids are supposed to learn to be independent and take responsibility for their learning.  
I am helping facilitate distance learning.  I am setting alarms, setting up a space for them, book marking sites with saved passwords.   
I will make lunch and snack and pack it in their lunchbox like I did when they were in person.  [/quote]
This is so sad. 
The one time in life when you’ll actually be able to be active in your child’s education & you are showing them off. 
I’m always unclear what jobs the DCUM types have where they are actively in meetings or calls all day...
I’m married to a lawyer & was a consultant myself, & now run my own business. Still can’t relate to the on all day jobs of this crew. Guess you all are all just big deals. [/quote]

Thanks not it. You simply have no idea what the average working America faces on a daily base. You had a big deal job where you got flexibility and freedom. Many people -- my household included -- have jobs like working intake for insurance company calls and claims. Yes, it can happen from home but yes it is monitored constantly, the number of calls taken and resolved and in how long all recorded, etc. When my 1st graders needs work sheet A and can't find it, when he has to log on to small group at 9:30, 11:30 and 2:30, when there are all sorts of videos he needs to watch in-between, life feels very hairy and very scare. I am not alone. And schools don't get it.[/quote]
