[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] ? Some of us have core hours. Which just happen to be during the school day. Which makes it impossible to both do your job and be available to direct the education of a young elementary student. While I’m not actively in calls or meetings all day, I am expected this o be available during my work hours when my manager calls me. Blowing him off so I can log my 6 year old into yet another distance learning session is not acceptable. Plus, I’m actually expected to produce a work product. When the distance school day is all day long with 5-10 minute breaks plus a lunch period, it looks like I would need to facilitate logging into sessions every 15-45 minutes throughout the day. I don’t generally work in 15-45 minute increments, but maybe you do?[/quote] How hard is it to help a first grader log into DL? You walk over, while on the phone and point to the link you made during non core hours. Or if you're at your computer, you drop the link into a hangout when you have a moment, then hit return on your phone and it pops on his screen at the right moment. How does that involve blowing your boss off? It's less time than walking to the sink to fill your water glass. [/quote] well for starters I can’t access Google hangout from my work computer. And a lot of us have kids that won’t just click the link. Plus my job involves stretches of intense focus - research and writing. multitasking at all is a big problem for my focus. [/quote] You don't have a phone? Have you tried teaching your kid to just click the link? Or incentivizing it? Or have you just decided that whatever the schools do you're going to complain and make no effort to help your kid? Because you've had months to get a six year old to be able to click a link. [/quote] Listen to yourself, defending this GARBAGE. [/quote]
