[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Work with your kids. Why are they needing so much support at this point? If they are misplacing materials, help them organize themselves each night as homework. Are they having trouble turning things in? Make sure they know that you will help after work. Reward them for being independent. They can get a special reward if they do not bother you all day. [b] Teachers are not reaching out unless there are large problems[/b]. If they are constantly reaching out- you have an issue that needs to be solved. You might also consider a parent- teacher conference to discuss how to make your children more independent. You can’t ignore young children, but you can help them gain the skills they need to fend for themselves for a few hours.[/quote]\ Not true, not even close. Some teachers are relying on parents to do their jobs for them. [/quote] As a parent, it does sound like OP has not taken sufficient time or care in getting her kids set up every day for school. If a child is having consistent technology problems then those need to be resolved. Before the school day begins, the parent needs to make sure the kid/s have what they need in terms of pen & paper, notebook, folders, assigned work, what have you. It is analogous to getting the kids' backpacks ready the night before. It would behoove OP to make sure the kids are ready before school begins. It sounds like OP is pretty disorganized and highly stressed out; a little pre-work on her part will help with both of those.[/quote]
