[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HAHAHAHA. What do you people think happens in school?  Do you REALLY think your kid is getting constant time with the teacher??

No one is going to be focusing on science or social studies either in person or DL.

You don’t realize that more half of the school day is doing work on your own, and getting it checked?

You really want your kid to spend that much time online staring at the teacher because to you that means learning? There is a practice element too.

Thanks for posting though OP because I too find this schedule icky.  There is way too much time on the computer and I don’t want my kid to do “specials” which just adds more screen time to the day.  We will probably home school. [/quote]

Of course that's what happens in school. But the kids are all there together, working on their worksheets and asking questions as necessary. They have to be quiet. They can't get up every 5 min for a juice box or whatever. There's an element of peer-induced discipline that I've never been able to replicate at home for my only child 7 year old.

Thanks OP, for sharing this. It really makes me feel better about my decision to go with 2 days a week, even though that's also going to be a hot mess and my kid will likely be home DL anyway by Oct.
