My 4th grade DS has ADHD and has really struggled, too. Always fiddling with things around him. We are finished next week, thankfully. [ Reply | More

I hear ya. My high schooler is still taking it seriously because his grades count if he wants them too (and he does), but my middle schooler doesn't care. [ Reply | More

Same exact situation over here. Third grader begs, cries and screams to not do it. Meanwhile, when we focus and do it, it takes barely any time and is not hard. So I spend my entire day trying to convince him, without murdering him, all while juggling my work. I hate this. [ Reply | More

Just do whatever to do to finish. Ignore, bribe, cajole. You can use the summer to figure out how to improve for next year. [ Reply | More

I have no idea whether the remote learning at our private is any better than your program. I do know that my 3rd grader is not taking to it well AT ALL. He doesn't scream and cry but I spend the whole day figuring out what he's meant to do and then find out that he's either muted the class or used the chat function to speak with friends. It just seems like this age is not good for this. My 5th grader is doing a bit better but not much. [ Reply | More

A whole new set of rules is being written on the go; DD's public teachers were better than her private teachers, but it all depends on the individuals. [ Reply | More

Depends on the private. Ours started off eh and has steadily improved to the point where if we have a mix of in and out of school this fall, I'll be OK with it. I also have a 4th grader. Fwiw, I know a teacher at another (more prestigious) private who says his school is doing an awful job. [ Reply | More
