DH has now gone back to work 5 days a week (key worker). He used to do pretty much all the home schooling (yr 4) while I worked ft from home (I have to be working online 9am-6pm).
The school send a weekly plan - daily maths exercise of 1 hour, English 30 minutes, and 1-2 other subjects every day, so maybe another 1-1.5 hours. The work has to be submitted each week (there is a deadline) then the teachers comment / mark and return it.
DS can do the odd little bit on his own, but mainly needs someone to explain and talk him through the work. Can’t see how this is possible now though. I really think at this stage in the pandemic, that I don’t want to be hauling him out of bed at 6.30am to get him working early, or starting homeschool after dinner at 7pm. Feel so guilty though! We need both our salaries to support the mortgage and food shopping, can’t do it on one pay check.
If no one is around to home school with him though, he’ll be on Minecraft etc 14 hours a day. But there isn’t any other options that I can see. No key worker place as school is full and I’m at home to look after him (in theory)
Where has everyone else got to with this?
