[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, our kid is a rising PK4 at his IB school.  PK3 distance learning was ... well it depended on the kid whether it was worthwhile or not.  Some kids were mini-bosses in their parent's work station, answering questions and listening and such.  My kid got overexcited and ran around giggling hysterically and shouting potty language.  So, we missed a lot of the video sessions.  But we did a few, and the school sent home some worksheets which my kid really liked doing (surprisingly), and some activity ideas.  We'll be doing PK4 that way too.  I can't imagine there would be any adverse consequences from the school to not participating in the distance portion of the plan at this age.  Granted, the benefits may be less for a kid who is starting PK3 and doesn't already have a connection to the teacher and know the songs and routines, but I'd imagine the teachers are coming up with some plan to address that.  I mean, distance learning is not great, but it's better than nothing in my book, and the kids are young and resilient so I'm choosing not to worry.  Now, if parents need childcare, I can see skipping PK for daycare.  We will be hoping our nanny can supervise DL as much as possible, but maybe that means getting a tablet or something so DS doesn't need to jump on my work computer.  Like everything else these days, we'll make it work.[/quote]
