[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are allowing the child to choose doing other things vs. school. Sit down and help with the assignments and not allow it to be an option.[/quote] I do this. It’s not working. Do you currently have a five year old? [/quote] :lol: I have one too (well, just turned 6 but in K), and am having a similar experience. Fall was ok but January has been a downhill slide. We've been trying to make him attend every class and do every assignment, but can't sit next to him and redirect and threaten consequences all day, which is what he needs at this point. We are running out of reward ideas, it's the month after Christmas and it's a pandemic so we cant go a lot of places or see a lot of people. I have no ideas for you, OP, but we are very much not hearing things like "just skip assignments" or "leave after morning meeting" as being acceptable from our school. We skipped ONE math app activity because the app was down the week it was assigned and we were too busy fighting over the next week's work to do makeup, and he apparently completely ignored his art teacher's instructions yesterday to draw Transformers instead, which I'm not even sure is worth forcing. So much of this feels like it's more about compliance than learning. Our district is planning to start hybrid Feb 16, and we're debating whether to keep him signed up because even 2 days a week in person would probably help, vs move him to DL because we are nowhere near the metrics from Aug-Oct and the teacher's association came out against it. It sucks so much that this falls on parents to try to be ethical for their own kids and the community at once when the school system is making such arbitrary seeming decisions.[/quote]
