[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elementary school mom here. The sample schedule shows kids online for over 5 hours a day. What parent wants their kid online for that long?

I have 4 kids. My ES kid is my oldest. Now I’m expected to keep everyone home and indoors all day to facilitate Zoom meetings for 1/4 of my kids? Feels really unfair to my family. I also work PT but my hours are flexible. I do most of my work in the early morning hours. My husband is an essential worker and out of the house daily from 8 - 6.

I don’t want to homeschool. Seriously, what is going to happen if we simply say, we’re happy to do the work but unable to be online. My kids need movement and fresh air. They also need an engaged parent who is available and attentive to all their needs. Not just playing personal assistant to the needs of the ES kid. [/quote]

Your child has had fresh air for 5 months.[/quote]

+1 were this a normal school year, they’d be indoors learning face to face. As it is, they’ll be indoors learning via Zoom. This isn’t your kid “online” like they’re playing games or watching tv. [/quote]
