Morning everyone. Anyone else feeling like they just can't really do much more home schooling? My kids now have zero motivation for it and in secret so do I.
We started out well and have done absolutely everything that the school sent to us every 2 weeks. Its enough work for about 2 to 3 hours a day covering all subjects. This has been since March and we have really tried our best in difficult circumstances. My 9 year old has adhd and has a melt down each morning before we start the work. He will then answer 1 question then get up and do a handstand or roll about on the floor. Then come back and do another question. This is very frustrating for me (been in tears a lot) and it's very distracting for his younger sister who is sitting quietly at the table trying to get in with her own work..
There are 4 weeks left of the school term now and if they were really in school they would be winding down now. The set of work they sent us yesterday had the most work in it they've ever sent, double the amount of usual, at least 4 hours a day.
Aibu to filter all the "extras" out such as music, topic work, art, r.e etc and just focus on maths and English. Truthfully I just want to stop altogether
