Ok I have a question
If your child is doing 100% remote learning are you the parent staying home or are you sending them to daycare to do remote learning ??
The parent should be doing the virtual learning/teaching of their child/ren.
Many daycares in our area refuse to help with virtual learning if the parents are choosing to enroll virtually while school is in-person.
I see why it’s alotnof work for the daycare and parents ain’t gotta deal with in
@mamaof2soon, Yeah, it’s not right to place that work on the daycare workers. If you’re going to send a kid to daycare then you may as well send them to school.
@ekko, that’s my point whats the difference
There’s actually less kids in school then daycare lol My niece class got 5 kids
I'm staying home but working from home. It's tough. Hes doing virtual but at our own pace so I can still work and be able to help him. I'm working from 5am-9pm when hes not doing schoolwork I try to get in 5 or 6 hours. I also have a 3 year old home who's currently being neglected in the schooling area because I just cant find the time, so I think I'm about to send him back to preschool
I dont think it's fair to put virtual school on daycare providers. Theres other children to watch. We had groups and stuff here with an actual teacher who takes like 5 or 6 kids to do their virtual school
So what is a working parent supposed to do? Many don’t have the option to work from home. It’s interesting to see how easy some people jump to judgement about this. If people expect the parent to stay home to do virtual learning, then how do the bills get paid?
@scruffy.nerf.herder, I feel like if you are a working parent send your child to school
If you are a nonworking parent keep your child home
But don’t keep your child home if you have to go to work
it does not make sense
I feel like the more kids that stay home with their parents if they don’t have to go to school it gives a chance for kids that need to go because they have no place to go to and don’t put that on daycare employee workers making barely anything
@mamaof2soon, oh I thought you were talking about kids/parents that didn’t have a choice between virtual or in-person... I agree that if there’s a choice and the parent has to work, the kid should be in school. That’s weird to me that a working parent would choose virtual. Daycare shouldn’t have to do that if it was the parent’s choice.
@scruffy.nerf.herder, exaxtlyyyyyy
It’s harder when the parent is at work and I’m trying to figure out zoom
And I can’t bevsuse text and call the parent because they at work then send tht child to SCHOOL !!!
I’m stressing my self out then child go home
And parents do Wah ?
I’ll give our situation. My kids are in 2nd and 5th and they are doing hybrid. They go to school Tues-Fri from 8-11 and then they go to the babysitter, where they are supposed to do afternoon work as well. Our schools split the population in half, so there is an afternoon session too. Monday’s are all day “asynchronous learning” where my kids are at a home babysitter all day as well (school is looking to add Monday’s to the half day schedule as long as we don’t have any big outbreaks in next few weeks).
Our babysitter is making sure to read the kids directions for the packet and get them set up. She is not making sure the work is correct. We go through it all again at home before it is turned in the next Tuesday. My 5th grader can get himself set up. I’ll also mention our schools are not doing many Zoom meetings, except Monday’s for the 5th grader because they are teaching another session.
I appreciate our babysitter doing this. We are paying her nicely (I’m broke!!) and she will get a nice Christmas bonus. 🤷🏼♀️ I think all the Pre K thru 3rd grade on Zoom meeting are pointless and silly. Maybe for them to see the other kids I guess, but I don’t think much is gained there. Anyway, that’s our situation.
Good luck to you!! 😕
Thank youuuuuuuu
They ain’t letting ish from a damn zoom
Meeting !!!
But like you said she’s setting up to do the work and that’s all she is not to teach him to work
You as a parent and then go home to make sure it’s not because That’s your job
I’m a daycare provider but parents seem as if that’s my job to teach they kids and it’s not
I do it at home but my niece goes to the local YMCA where they created pods based on grade. They have college students that are enrolled in education programs helping the kids. In my nieces district they didn't have the options only remote learning and my sister is a single mom so she didn't have a choice.
@massgirl, So for like parents Who have to go to work but they’re doing fully remote leaning
They send they child
Somewhere to learn remotely
@mamaof2soon gotcha but I would definitely talk to the director and get it more organized
@massgirl, it’s home daycare so not your average daycare setting typically one big open room
No walls to break noice up
For all I am a daycare provider and we have a few kids Doing zoom and it is very stressful make sure child 1 2 3 4 are all
Staying on task and doing the right thing
I just wanted to make sure I had a way for feeling how I was feeling
My 8 year old struggles remembering to get on at her designated time. If I didn't have an alarm on my phone she'd always be late. She can navigate the computer and do her work all on her own. It's remembering what time to be "online" she struggles. So because of that. I would not send a child to a daycare to do remote learning.
@raisinglittlegamers, I was saying for example if they are in daycare because parents have to work
@mamaof2soon
I get what you're saying but each child probably has a different schedule so there needs to be some type of organization
@raisinglittlegamers, sadly nope :( they are in charter school
And have to log on from 8-1 and 9-2
Also. FTR. I don’t think it’s fair that so much of it is being placed on parents either. Not all districts did a good job of making virtual learning easier on the parents. But daycare providers are not and should not be expected to also be teachers.
Paying for them to go to daycare to do remote learning there
@mamaof2soon, but they would need help at some point. I think it’s a waste of money.
The parent should be doing the virtual learning/teaching of their child/ren.
@mamaof2soon, daycare providers aren’t teachers. Esp to older children. Yeah some of them they do basic teaching to the toddler ages but it’s not their job to be helping the older kids zoom zoom and with their schooling and work. That’s what they mama is for when they get picked up lol or pay the provider extra
I think it’s unfair to place the burden of virtual learning onto daycare providers. IMO.
@mamaof2soon, because they are not teachers, they aren’t paid to be teachers and helping little Jonny with his math class is not their job.
@oggirl.mom, yessss
I’m a daycare provider and I’m stressed like 5 kids gotta be on zoom and none know what to do
Do you feel like it would be fair to send your child to Daycare to do remote learning and make sure the child learns while and make is they responsibility?
@mamaof2soon it depends is it your choice not to send them 100 percent to school then yes but if the district has it as monitory virual right now then I think if the daycare can help great but if not you can't get mad at daycares for not they have lots of kids
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
I think it’s unfair to place the burden of virtual learning onto daycare providers. IMO.
