[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to do a couple of things. (1) Set up a specific place where all school materials are always kept in some organized fashion. Include basic school supplies -- pencils, composition books, scissors, glue sticks, construction paper, white board, etc. (2) The night before or in the morning, look at the schedule and make sure that the materials for each class are ready to hand. Older kids can help with this. (3) Check the chair/desk setup to make sure that your kid's face is clearly visible on video. Adjust chair/desk height or get a booster or whatever so that the setup is correct. (4) Check their tech setup in general -- volume, working headphones, etc. Remind them not to mess with the settings. (5) Defer responding to all emails about homework/assignments. They might just be emailing you about missing work when they have a minute between classes; that doesn't mean you need to handle it that moment. (6) Ignore all emails that are not actually urgent. Check them at lunch and the end of the day. If you ignore them, they don't disrupt your day. [/quote]
