[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids don't need school for fresh air and movement.[/quote]

No, they don’t. I don’t want my kids at school in person. I want the 100% remote option, limiting screen time to no more than an hour a day. My daughter is 6. [/quote]

At this point, that isn’t a choice being offered.  If that is what you want for your child, you need to homeschool. [/quote]

Or she can simply pick and choose how much her 6 year old attends.  If you really only want an hour a day, just have your kid do an hour a day.[/quote]

There was so much complaining last school year about lost opportunities and lack of instruction, hence lack of progress in learning and now when schools are offering greater access, parents are going to refuse. All I can say is that if your kid doesn’t learn to read or whatever else they are working on, the blame won’t lie with the school. [/quote]

DP, but come ON.  The problem is that most kids, especially young ones, don't learn well via online instruction only.  THAT is the problem.  Offering more of the same won't fix it, in no small part because most parents need to be *working* and can't ALSO teach their kids at the same time.  Why is that so hard to understand?[/quote]

So teach them after work[/quote]

Exactly. They'll absorb what they can and you support/extend as much as you can.[/quote]

Are you both suggesting we forego Zoom entirely, have the kids in some kind of childcare all day, and then work on assignments at night?  That might be feasible, though what the OP and I and others are wondering is what the penalty will be for parents who don't participate in Zoom calls.  That's (one of) the problem(s).[/quote]

No they attend Zooms they can and you teach them after your work. Penalty is the kids don’t learn much [/quote]

*facepalm*

They can't DO Zoom on their own, especially not four or more hours of it.  They're too young.[/quote]

Welcome to the problem that many people have. You’re not the only one is this.[/quote]

Where did I say that I was?  I'm trying to participate in a thread for people who are struggling with Zoom and wondering whether we can opt out (for multiple reasons).  Telling us to just put our kids on it and walk away is incredibly unhelpful.[/quote]
