Thanks for raising this important topic up. Moms all have the opportunity to help each other. To get help we must ask for help so others can support. When a friend of mine who owns her own business had a no show nanny with a big deadline I offered to pick up the kids and bring them to my house. I knew if the kids had friends they would bother me less. I also knew her family was cautious like mine and not out socializing all the time. My kids are missing the socialization that builds social skills more than the curriculum itself. There are so many ways to work on curriculum outside of class assignments with apps these days.

I have found with virtual learning there are many perspectives. I’ve been lucky that my children are doing really well with virtual learning. Yet I know others who are struggling and I appreciate the idea of parents helping each other.

I’ve noticed a lot of younger students have been struggling as well as some high school students. I’m pretty sure schools tried to come up with a more efficient way during the summer but since it’s still fairly new there are still ongoing problems. More parents have been able to go back to work now so we have to factor that even if working from home. Kids are out of their element but I think the best way to go about helping kids succeed is Assistant teachers, tutors, and parents possibly stepping in more than they may like. It would be awesome for example an assistant teacher to have a maximum of say five students that they connect with on a one on one base every week and as needed. I wonder since students aren’t heavily monitored are they focusing like they would be in a classroom setting. I’m also curious about how this year has affected their mental health and students really just being over it right now lol. Everyone’s home setup and support system is not the same and I guess people should realize being physically at school was very important than we thought. Our system has ran so long with traditionally learning at a physical space starting as young as daycare age with now having to do online which was seen as untraditional, so now for the meantime we have to essentially make them relearn a system or unlearn a old system however you want to look at it. And it may only be temporary but who knows right now. Sorry for the long response.
