Anybody else experiencing a complete school revolt from the under 10 crowd? My kid REFUSES to log in to see her teacher and friends. Hates zoom, hates google classroom, says it& #39;s all too noisy and terrible. I have given up trying. She says no.
Frankly, this is fine. For now. But if there is no actual school in the fall, I don& #39;t see what parents are supposed to do. I& #39;m not about to force her to learn on the internet. As for my kindergartener, it& #39;s basically a lost cause, and not fixable by me.
I& #39;m a professor, I care about education and learning. A LOT. But I& #39;m telling you all this now, and I& #39;m not lying or exaggerating: I AM NOT DOING THIS.
All that will happen if I try to force this is that my two kids will be turned off from learning forever. And that is terrible.

I& #39;m feeling frustrated. And sad for them. They need people. They need to socialize. They don& #39;t need to log into google to do a recipe challenge. They don& #39;t need to listen to the literacy specialist read them a story over the internet. They need to go to school to be with people.
I appreciate all the effort that teachers are putting into this. The school is awesome, the teachers are fab, and they& #39;re doing their best. This is not their fault. But it& #39;s also not working. I& #39;m not sure how to fix it.
I& #39;m also highly aware of my privilege. I work at home but my job is flexible. I can take them to the park in the middle of the day. I have a backyard, they can go outside. I can take them hiking & they can ride bikes & we have lotsa books & supplies. We are lucky. But this sucks.
