[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it always the same poster who complains about regression? Because that's not normal, and shouldn't happen if your child attends their virtual learning and you do your parenting job.

Do you check the homework? You must, every day.
Also check for organization, and that your child knows what to  hand in when.
Multiplication is supposed to be practiced regularly at home until it's solid. Ask for one table a day.

I think your mistake is thinking that you can be totally hands-off as your child grows older. This isn't preschool. Even if your child were in the building, you'd need to help your child memorize their multiplication tables. I don't know one parent who hasn't helped their child to practice this!

Essentially, this is a failure of understanding your changing role as a parent of a grade-school child.

Go back to sleep, granny.  We'll wake you when your life experience is relevant.[/quote]

You are failing as a parent if you don't make sure your kids are getting an education.  At least Granny didn't fail their kids.  Granny has educated kids who are learning to be resilient and what is important.  What are you going to do?  Hold back your kids a year or two until school reopens so they will be 20 when they graduate?[/quote]
