What we are doing right now is home learning, reinforcing the work already completed rather than teaching new academic skills. #stayclassymama

it is hard being stuck at home, not ideal for anyone.

If I had chosen to homeschool mine before corona, we would have been out and about all the time.
Not being able to go out is the hardest part for me. #StayClassyMama

Yeah, we most certainly are not loving being stuck at home and we rely on extra curricular stuff for my son’s wellbeing and for things I cannot cover so I can’t relate to smug and this is all ok at all and it doesn’t help parent’s who are struggling. We hope it ends as soon as is safe. It’s a strange old time, that is for sure.

I know a homeschooler who is being smug and all ‘see how great this is’ and I thought she was really doing a disservice to home schoolers. If being isolated and only zooming with friends is your idea of being social, it’s all a bit sad. But she has no regular activities for her kids and she does keep them a little isolated (in my opinion – which as they’re teens is really sad). Not that I’m happy your son is having a hard time, but the postive of that is he has strong connections in his own world (his own friends and activities) which is a great thing, as it’s where his self esteem and autonomy grows. Let’s hope this ends soon and some sort of normal comes back. Or as I said to my daughter back at the start ‘We’ll just get better at it.’ #StayClassyMama

Hope you’re all doing ok 🙂 #stayclassymama
