[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sympathetic, OP, but am confused as to why you are so against hiring someone to help out. Why is sending the two youngest to a center better than having someone at your house to make sure all 4 are online and doing school? [/quote]
I think the younger two may need more structure outside of the house and better data speeds. Based on some of these posts in these forums, I don’t exactly trust nannies anymore anyway.  Four school aged kids really isn’t hard to handle during the day, but four school aged kids trying to sort through broken links and frozen zoom sessions becomes a non stop job.

I think we have a plan. We are going to have to two youngest in care and the older kids will need to keep a checklist when they can’t get into a class.  I don’t think this is a wonderful year for education. [/quote]

You don't say what district you are in, but at least in MCPS if kids miss a class, it is available to watch for 72 hours.  Once they watch and finish the assignments, parents complete a form and kids get marked present for the class.  So, there is no school that is actually missed.  That would work for your older kids.

If my kids were struggling, I'd definitely find a child care center that addresses the online learning.  I interviewed two because I was considering it.  But, the one of mine that fits into that age group is doing fine with online school so I decided not to spend the money.  It's pretty expensive.[/quote]
