[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My personal children are fine. I'm a teacher and I used ALL of the free websites that were free at that time.  IXL was free, brainpop was free, Epic! Reading-free, soooo many resources were out there.

I find that parents would like to use the excuse of the lockdown for everything-lack of social skills, inability to read, do math, or regulate their emotions.

Something I share with all of my peers-you can't rely on the school to do it all.  [b]You've got to take some initiative to extend the learning at home-educational board games, puzzles, books, cooking, watching documentaries.  [/b]Public, and even private schools are trying to disseminate a bunch of information to many students at a time.  You've got to make it personal to help it stick.

Yes but extended learning is completely different than teaching an entire school year ourselves. We rely on schools for formal teaching and that didn’t happen for at least a goddamn year, so kindly shut it. There was nothing to extend. Parents had to work while their kid went to virtual school. Half the day was wasted troubleshooting when the computer froze or the audio went out. It was a complete sh*tshow.[/quote]
