This is where all the confessions about virtual, at-home learning (aka Zoom School Of ARRGHHH) come to congregate.
One month into the virtual school year and these parents have HAD IT
Hello and welcome to hell, oh, sorry, not hell — but close enough. Zoom school/virtual school/e-learning/distance learning/whatever theFor the 2020-2021 school year, “back to school” has changed dramatically for many families across the country, and for many parents, the “classroom” is now the dining room table. Most districts are offering virtual learning or a hybrid ofand in-person learning, and honestly, all of it is stressful for everyone involved.
“As of September 2, 73% of the 100 largest school districts have chosen remote learning only as their back-to-school instructional model, affecting over 8 million students,”reports. The goal of remote learning is to recreate the classroom experience and schedule that kids would typically follow if they were physically in school. Sounds great! Except most parents are trying to balance their kids’ rigorous daily schedules with their own full-time work schedules.
Concentration and productivity are part of our pre-COVID lives and now we all just want to cry. So it comes as no surprise that parents all over the country have showed up to our Confessional to let it all out. ZOOM SCHOOL IS A TOTAL NIGHTMARE, Y’ALL.“Virtual learning is killing me. My daughter is only in Kindergarten so I have to do everything with her, then I work a night job. I barely have time to shower.
“I am super introverted and have major social anxiety. At first I thought zoom school for the kids would be a blessing , but having the teachers and students practically in my house every morning is making me lose my mind.”“Good schools, teachers are really trying hard, but damn, I'm already sick of tracking zoom meetings and pushing my kids to finish schoolwork.
