Anyone else whose "older" child has done much better with remote learning? My almost 14 year old loves it...less social drama. She gets to wake up and prioritize what work she can complete most efficiently first, etc. The only thing she misses is grabbing ice tea with friends once in a while. Grades have been better than ever. Anyone who has been homeschooling a teen even before the pandemic? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

DC is a HS senior, he prefers live classes but has been totally fine with Zoom, and thinks quarantine is kind of great, he is an introvert and loves that he doesn't have to go out or feel pressure to socialize, he has regular zoom chats with close friends and texts, which is enough for him.

I'm realizing now that my 16 yr old DS is probably socially introverted. He seems relieved to be missing the drama and competitiveness of school. He also loves starting later in the morning, as he is usually on a school bus at 6:50am. The only thing he misses is lunchtime w/friends, but now that he's able to meet-up w/friends, he's doing better on that front. I haven't checked his grades in while... [ Reply | More

Opposite. Fine at first and enjoyed the later start. Now in a vicious circle of disregulated sleep, hours of screens and overwhelmed by the workload that has been building way too much. Social isolation has become harder with time. In final week which is really hellish. [ Reply | More
