Isn’t it great having a teenager? Ugh, I know it is tough on the kids having to go to Covid school (as I call it) I get that. The schedule is confusing for them at times but when you are a parent and get an email from the front office staff that says your child missed Period 3, 4, 5, and 6 today. I am seriously not kidding or exaggerating on that number my kiddo missed 4 classes online today. Parenting during this time has been super difficult!
I have struggled with being a teacher and hovering around too much and then giving him freedom to know what he is supposed to do. My Husband jokes that I will not be able to go to high school with him and carry his backpack. Now I know that is funny, but it is also a huge eye opener. It makes you wonder what is the best middle track when they are at home doing school? When they attend school in person I felt like I had no idea what the class assignments were and when the tests were. In retrospect, I feel like him doing school online I have the ability of knowing what the teachers expect out of him and it is slightly more transparent. Is anyone else feeling the same way?
