15-year-old: I miss my friends. Want to do my concurrent-enrollment advanced study classes. She's starting school, we'll see how long in-person school lasts.

12-year-old: School over the internet is awesome! Takes me a quarter of the time and I'm not just waiting for the teacher and the class. Doing an online, tech-focused, home schooling program, with in-person advanced math class and drama class.

That's so interesting that your kids have had such different experiences. Do you attribute it to their personality or to the way their teachers/schools are doing distance learning?

Personality, motivation to be with friend group, and availability of interesting/challenging courses.

The 12-yo had been explicitly told he "could miss two weeks and not fall behind", and the teacher tried to forbid working ahead in the math book. (The in-person math class is up a grade level plus "advanced").

10-year old: 2 hours of tantrums and regressing, competition with his 2 year old who can be more insupportable, then 5 minutes to finish his worksheet to get 60 mins of TV. Need these kids back in school STAT!
