[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why everyone is so mad at PP for waking up at 4:30 every day.  That's an example of a (pretty hardcore) schedule that worked for them.  I've made similar sorts of sacrifices to support at home learning and my kids are okay though it has been a slog.  I *have* had to be involved and a general supervisory presence; hands off had not worked, we found that out early on.

It does seem like a lot of the voices you hear complaining about schools not being fully open yet might have more successful children in virtual if the parents who complain over here for 2 hours a day would spend that time with their kids instead.[/quote]

To be clear - my kids are fine.  My 3rd and 6th graders did virtual and I sent my kindergarten to private K because I couldn't supervise virtual K while working.  I knew it was not not developmentally appropriate from having a kid that age (5) and from being a former teacher.  It has nothing to do with me being on DCUM - I was speaking up for those who don't have two parents with post-college graduate degrees and teaching experience to help at home and no able to afford private kindergarten, etc.  My 3rd grader did it - but I am a former 3rd grade teacher myself.  In his own words - it's a lot easier to pay attention in person now (he has ADHD - and he doesn't even know his diagnosis yet).  [/quote]
