Teen homeschooling - share their workspace set up please

[MadamFlutterby]

I'm trying to organise space at home for our teen to do homeschooling. He will need nudging to keep on focus so ideally not holed away in his bedroom.

If anyone can put up a photo of their DCs workstation area so I can copy for my inspiration, I would be truly grateful.

Well DD sits wrapped in blankets on the middle of her bed.....

In bed. In pyjamas. Good luck with it.

DS has taken over the front room with laptop and phone. Nobody else gets a look in!

We are very fortunate and have lots of space. DTs are a bit lost at the moment as this is their GCSE year.

Ds2 & dd2 are working in the playroom - dp in the dining room (and using every single surface in there, I have no idea how he generates so much paper or finds anything) I have my own room and hide/work in there.

I make everyone get up and dressed as per normal and we all do Joe Wicks PE at 9am to start the day.

My pre teen dd is home educated and she does most of her work at the dining table with the rest of us.

We are fortunate as our son, 14 has a inbuilt desk in his room with his computer on there it's all already set up.

My DD has a desk but we found it works best if we’re all round the dinning room table. We keep each other focused that way, there’s 5 of us.

That’s really sweet- lovely family memories being made there!

DD prefers to work downstairs, so she has a small table at the end of the dining table and an office chair - tends to swap between the small table and the dining table. Doesn't want to use either her bedroom or the spare room/office which DH was using for work until this week. She's also using the office chair to eat at the dining table with as it's a lot more comfortable than the wooden dining chairs

We all sit at the dining table, I really like it actually and it is one of the positives of this for me. I'm amazed DD14 does it tbh.

Ds is at the dining table, sitting on an office chair. We do have two offices in the house (as DH and I are both home based), but depending on what we are doing, one of us is normally in the adjoining room working so we can keep an eye on progress.

I've set up an exam desk and chair in my home office for DS - so far he's been happily sitting there all day while I work away at my desk on my laptop!

Me in my office. Dd and ds in their rooms at their desks. Dh top floor as desk. Then come together for lunch,

In bed. In pyjamas.

This. We're trying to get DD downstairs where we can get her to focus but we're nagging/ruining her life/don't trust her/terrible parents apparently

Bed in Pajamas here too, or sprawled across the floor of her room. Seems to work well, her work is getting completed and sent in on time.
I'm also find she is much more relaxed and nice to be around during this lockdown. I'm not encoutering Miss Stropy teen age 15 as much now.

I have 3 children and although they get on well and we're incredibly lucky that there's barely any conflict there's no way on earth they could work sitting around the table together! The younger two especially distract each other constantly if in the same room, and the eldest needs quiet to work.

We've just broken up for Easter but we had three weeks of lockdown before the holidays (overseas) and each child worked in their own bedroom. They all have a desk and office chair in their bedroom already for homework and the older two have desktop gaming PCs of their own in their rooms (DH is a programmer and has security on their PCs to restrict access times and what they can access etc).

I sat with the youngest in his room as left to himself he does nothing, just daydreams, and the older two seek me out for help when needed and I drop in randomly to make sure they're working.

Mine got tonnes of set work, and worked 9-1 with short breaks, then again around 2:30-3:30.

I work outside the home still, shifts mainly lates. I couldn't get my own studying done though as the kids needed me every few minutes and DH was working downstairs and on calls/ video links a lot.

Mine are all at desks in their bedrooms. They have lots of Google Hangouts so they couldn't all be in one room.

So far they've done all their work and attended all their classes, even my 14 year old boy with ADHD. I can see their marks on Powerschool so if they weren't doing their work it would be obvious fairly quickly.
