| Between us my girlfriend and I have four kids (12,9,5,5) that live with us full time. The 12 year old is doing fully virtual/remote which was fine this spring and we expect no trouble. The elementary schools in our state are all enforcing masks all day, no cafeteria (lunch in the classroom), avoiding all interactions with students not in your homeroom, maintain 6’, etc. This will all add up to something untenable for our 9 year old, he’s got sensory and social issues and it’s just an impossible environment. The virtual option this spring was also largely impossible for him due to the same issues (combined with the uninspired way the school approached it). The upshot is that we’re homeschooling our 9,5,5 kids, the two youngest being in kindergarten this is basic stuff we’d be doing anyway, sight words and addition/subtraction. We’re in a house in the country so when it all becomes too much being cooped up together we just throw them out in the yard and lick the doors. :-) j/k (No seriously we sometimes actually do this for 20 minutes...) |
