[quote=Anonymous]OP here. My kid is One of those kids who is spacing out, who is asking questions he should already know the answer to, who is carrying around his iPad to go get a snack and so he misses instruction, who Stares at his paper or picks up a book when he is supposed to be doing his asynchronous assignment, Who asks questions he should know the answer to, who seeks out his sister when it sounds like something interesting is happening with her, Who never seems to have a pencil and paper when it’s obvious he should, etc. I can’t sit right next to him because if I do he often leaves his iPad and comes over to me to tell me something or give me a hug. So I sit around the corner and eavesdrop and when it sounds like I need to get him back on task or make sure he’s doing an assignment, I’ll pop out for a bit. There of been many times when I haven’t been able to do that because I was helping my other child or making a phone call or taking a shower or something. I imagine the kids spacing out is just part of eight-year-olds having to learn what they find to be a boring subject, and a teacher trying to teach 20 kids at a time. I also know Distance learning provides an additional level of difficulty because I hear the teacher frequently telling the children to go find a pen and paper, to get rid of distractions in their home, to return to class at the time they are supposed to, etc. Anyway, the point of this post is not at all to complain about distance-learning, or to say it’s working perfectly, just that I think the teacher is amazing and I feel really bad for him. I was never under the illusion that teaching many third-graders is easy. I have always been amazed at what teachers do and have to deal with. So even if this is par for the course in an in person class, I still think that this teacher should get a big old bonus.[/quote]
