[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work out of the house full time. So does my husband. My kids are 11 and 14 - they handle distance learning by themselves. Every day. Even though they are “doing well”, I, like most, realize the material they are covering and their methods of assessment are pretty sub par with DL. I want my kids back in school ASAP. 
I’m parenting them exactly as I would have during “normal” times, if they were in person in school. So please please stop with the nonsense that people only want kids in school because they can’t/don’t want to parent them, or are sick of them, or want someone else to parent them. It’s just a stupid baseless so called argument. [/quote]

Well you should not be parenting them just like "normal times" ... these are not normal times.

You are exactly the person that people are complaining about, you don't want to be bothered to "parent your kids".

If they are falling back in school, help them.
If they need more socialization, set up outdoor gatherings so they can carry on friendships.
If they need a sport, sign them up for a sport.
If they need their arts, get together with other parents and continue with their arts.

The government is not there to solve all your problems. Do your job as a parent. [/quote]

DCUM DL forever folk in the summer and fall:  You are terribly selfish for allowing your kids to play sports or do other activities. If you want schools to reopen, do your part and stay home.

DCUM DL forever folk 2021 - If your kids are suffering, sign them up for activities. Play sports. Don't expect the government to solve all your problems.

There's no winning.[/quote]

DP, and exactly this.  They also conveniently ignore that most parents are WORKING their own jobs, so they don’t have the time to hover during DL AND work AND set up the myriad activities their kids need to have some semblance of normalcy.  [/quote]
