I’m wondering how lessons will be managed when the children return to school as there will be those who have done their home schooling work and those who haven’t.

I don’t know yet how my two (ages 7 and 11, Year 3 and Year 6) are doing — they are 200 miles away. I know they have set work, and can’t escape doing it, luckily. Since my son and DIL are both working from home, I don’t see that there’s anyone free to supervise the children. I really can’t imagine how it works. At their age I don’t think missing a bit of school matters, though if it goes on a long time it will start to.

Are your DGC enjoying home schooling are they actually doing it? There seems to be a large amount of kids who are just having an extended break and will loose out on so much important education. Our GC are bucking down to put in the work the school sets one loving the fact it is all computer based and the younger one having a bit more difficulty. They are lucky tht their dad is working from home so they see him go off to his office and work all day . One of the GC said how nice it was that there was no need to go off to all the after school things they used to do but can just please themselves . I hope the parents realise this too .
