[quote=Anonymous]My introverted 1st grader is doing fine, but has trouble keeping his camera on because looking at himself is distracting and makes him self conscious.

I am neutral on DL. He’s probably learning less, but it’s not as awful as some parents make it out to be.

My $.02 - My husband and I have both worked to have a super optimistic, positive attitude about DL. We talk about “making it work” and “doing our best”. We have never given our child any indication that he should be unhappy. We don’t talk about DL or potential hybrid in front of him. We are engaged with what is going on and we work with him to reinforce what he is doing during DL. This is not taking a heroic effort - it takes me 30-40 min a day. All of the loudmouth “open schools now” parents seem to also have kids who are melting down and acting out. It’s a bit of a chicken and and egg thing to me. 
Do the kids have a bad attitude / sense of entitlement/ learned helplessness because their parents were so negative about DL from day 1? Or are the parents at their wit’s end because of the kids? [/quote]
