Given up

[SomelikeitHoth]

I have given up. After all that time out of school from March to September, ds's whole yeargroup has to now been told to stay at home for a week. If we get a letter tomorrow, it will be 2 weeks. DS has some SEN and home learning was terrible. He was angry and withdraw (usually sporty and joyful) and he's just got settled down from being back at school.
I can't face it all again and won't be forcing him to engage with the online learning.
Would be bearable but DH is WFH and needs quiet. Can see DS being on his phone and switch all day

Home learning provision from his school will be different than during the first lockdown, probably with some expectation of him doing work.

How old is he OP? That's hard. Any chance he would do the work if one of his school friends was invited to your home? Someone already in his bubble. Assuming your family doesn't have anyone shielding?

He is in year 10. Friends are in different GCSE sets/option groups , so they have totally different lessons.

I have a SEN child in this situation too. It's really really tough. Did you have a local parents support group you can plug in to? We certainly won't be focusing on anything more than English, Maths, and Science this week. History and geography if he can manage it, and maybe Spanish but all are highly unlikely. Everything else we won't even consider. How supportive have school been in the past in general? We have a great relationship with his HoY so I know they will understand.

They are brilliant but the pressure is ever-present. I am not prepared to endure the anger and aggression again. I have quietly resigned myself to the fact that there has been for too much damage done already.
He's predicted level 2 GCSE so won't stand a chance really now

I think you're right to give up and leave him to it. If you want, you could suggest screen options for self-study. For example, if he is studying English literature you could check if there are decent film versions of the books, line up documentaries that might help him make sense of other subjects (history/geography etc). But you've tried to police his study before and it didn't work.
