How are people finding this, easy or very stressful in these difficult times? Must be hard also for the children.

At times it can be stressful, but it's definitely teaching me a few things lol. I'm enjoying it to a degree

My daughter is doing great. She has most of the weeks work completed in a couple of days, my son the exact opposite.

Now he is out the normal daily routine I'm finding it difficult to get him to concentrate and focus on his work.

He has good days and bad days.

I'm still working so mine are having to home school themselves. They've all got their laptops and log ins etc so I just leave them to it. I just make sure we go out for walks/cycles every day and they're enjoying baking a few times a week. Way more important things to life than books and computers at the moment

I'm very glad our kids are way too old for this. They are both very different in temperament and I think there would have been fireworks with one hsppily knuckling down and the other spending half the day arguing about why it was necessary to do it at all. I can hear it now "but what's the point?"

I'm not homeschooling to a structure, we craft, play games, bake, exercise and generally have fun. As long as my child is happy and healthy the teachers are happy with what we are doing

Yeah we could of been sending him since it all began but we were very worried about him however it became really bad and his and my mental health are just as important so as long as he's happy going then that's what we are going to do xx

Very stressful here, no quiet time to sit down with my eldest who at an age where she needs help due to youngest with additional needs needing constant attention, he’s going back on Monday for a few hours so hopefully we will be able to get back on track.

The work itself not a problem. The teachers have been working hard to keep the children engaged. The downside to that is being bombarded with so many platforms all with different usernames and passwords. Each week that goes by more and more being used. The tech caused issues this week but the support from IT and computer science departments I cannot fault. Emails, phone calls, remote access and FaceTime all used to help remedy the problems. Watching some of the live lessons has been quite amusing. The children get a weekly welfare call along with other forms of contact with encouragement and support. The parents are also getting messages of support and told not to struggle let them take the strain. The experience has been more positive than negative..........so far

Agree with all this... positives and negatives, and some very funny moments in the live lessons. Think the kids are craving to see each other though so much....

Our 14 yr old son has been amazing since the start of Lockdown. He does his weeks work in a couple of days then spends the rest of his time on his phone and xbox. The only problem we do have is he stays up till 2 or 3 in the morning and he wakes us up when he strops on the xbox
