[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4yo said he hates it so much that I should be sent to jail for making him attend each day so there's that. His teachers are doing the best they can.[/quote]

Our kids would get along!  My daughter’s art is drawing pictures of iPads while drawing a big “x” across them and saying “no school!” Over and over.[/quote]

You realize you are the adult in this situation, right? I don’t understand why you are allowing that. She would probably be the same way in school. Except the teacher would have said “that’s not ok”. Doesn’t take a lot of skill to have a better attitude when things don’t go your way. In our home (no nanny, no pod) we tell our kid this is what it is and guess what? She’s learning a lot.

What concerns me THE most about going back to in person will be all of these horrifying behaviors/attitudes kids have picked up at home While DL because of their parents garbage attitude.

Your kids will be the ones disrupting the learning in the class with the crying and whining and being super delayed because you let them watch cartoons rather than ask them to pay attention during their 20 minute class. Seriously, get over it!!! 
 
This generation of parents Will be the piece of work generation. In ten years when something doesn’t go their child’s way, they will probably blame DL Pk3. [/quote]

You have no idea what you are talking about. My daughter loves school and always has. She hates DL and literally hides from it. She will crawl under her bed to avoid getting on a lesson. When she does get on a lesson, she literally shrinks out of view of the camera. And I don't blame her.

Her DL lessons are awful. Half the students join late, so the first have of any lesson is just the teacher interrupting herself to say hello to the new students and try to get them to mute/unmute or turn their cameras on. Half of the kids are doing DL without an adult, so they can't really participate (3 year olds don't know how to mute or unmute themselves), but the teacher is still trying (she wants to reach those kids).

People are having extremely disparate experiences with DL. This thread is a perfect example. Some parents are saying their PK kids are happy, others are miserable. Some of it is due to the kids personality and development (plus, at this age, some may have undiagnosed learning disabilities that could be greatly impacting their experience). It may also be due to the school, the teacher, the student cohort. Resources are huge.

The kids who are refusing to go on DL lessons are not being brats, they don't just need a good talking to. Being stricter is not necessarily the answer -- this is not normal school refusal. The DL they are being offered does not meet their learning needs. Full stop. And it's not a small problem. DCUM has a pretty well-resourced parent base, and look at all the issues people are talking about on here. Now think of all the kids with fewer resources, with fewer childcare options. There are at least 9 kids in our PK class who have never logged on, not once. DL isn't meeting their needs either.[/quote]
