I have one son in elementary school. Since the school system switched to online learning, it's been a mixed bag. Having our son around all day is quite nice, and we have fun, however, he's not learning much from the online experience at all, so we have to teach everything ourselves. Before, it was just a matter of supplementing what the teacher taught. Assignments are overwhelmingly negative: They're all slide decks. It feels like office work for both the child and the parent. My son was sick of making slides by the end of the school year and I don't blame him.

Net result: We will be sending him to school once it opens.
