Hate homeschooling

[whatayear20]

Just that. Hate it. Battle every day. My child is very bright but just does not want to do the work at home. Can't believe we have months of this ahead.

I feel your pain. My youngest is reasonably enthusiastic but is only in reception so cannot do it himself. His older brother thrives in school but uses every delaying tactic in the book, making everything take ages and stopping me supporting the youngest and the others.

The really frustrating thing is that they will be learning hardly anything as a result so it all feels like a massive waste of time.

That's exactly it. I have a toddler as well so he ends up ignored and then plays up. Just feels a waste of everyone's time. He's actually a very well behaved child normally this is just a big no for him

My buttocks are numb from the dining chairs (I'm too small for virtually all standard furniture; used to sit on the floor with a lap tray to mark)

My DCs won't do anything without me micromanaging them so nothing happens if I am not litterlly next to them. Most of the daylight is consumed. We can't go amywhere appropriate for outdoor exercise in daylight (garden is a mud-pit)

Just done the morning shift with DS2. We need to get through the "independent" stuff, then it's time to sit through DS1's lessons.

If I was working, it just simply could not happen with my two. (One has multiple SENs and still didn't get to stay in school despite not submitting a jot of work to school in 4 months last year). I resent going from one extreme of being set inadequate, inappropriate work that had to be totally subsituted and no one checking on us in 4 months to the opposite extreme of me basically becoming a full time unsalaried TA with dire threats of unathorised attendance if we're not online on demand and not having any flexibility to fit in things like lunchtime and getting outside.

This approach is not sustainable.

So far today, Y11 has managed to miss Sport Studies exam resit as he was in his live maths lesson scheduled at the same time.
Struggled through a Y7 social science PowerPoint with child making as few notes as possible.
Just managed to access the PowerPoint required for Y9 geography - lesson started at 9am.
Managed to complete Y6 spelling and maths jobs but the English had us both in tears so we've abandoned.
Shoot me now.

DS is currently conjugating the verb "to suck" at the English lesson on youtube...
That was not the learning objective, but I am impressed with his verb power.
