I agree. Everyone knows that this is hard. And I think you should definitely consider asking your school to give you some leeway or change the schedule to make it work better for your kids. I know a lot of parents who have asked their companies and their schools to accommodate to what they needed and were surpised at the flexibility they found. This is a new situation for everyone. Ask for what you need and you might be surprised by the answer.

I'd also add that kids learn a lot faster with 1-1 instruction than in a group setting, so if you want to consider homeschooling, you might find that you only need to teach them an hour or two a day and that will be more than enough to keep them at or above grade level. The rest of the time they can plan and enjoy being kids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastery_learning
