We still don't know how we feel about the kids being physically in school ... but I do know how I feel about them being home. The two oldest manage their time and work very proficiently. My biggest concern with them is whether or not they'll get a quality education this year. But the little one? He needs to be at school. At least, he needs to not be home.
Today he had "movement," which is basically PE. He complained that the stretching hurt and kept asking how long the class was. During another class he doodled while the teacher spoke. You know things are in a sad state when your proud your kids doodles are not inappropriate. Finally, during "library" he took his iPad and left the room. Unfortunately we left him unattended for a few minutes, which was a fail on our part. He went into his brothers room and was screamed at for interrupting class (this yelling was how we knew he was loose in the house). He then went to his own room and was blasting music. DURING class. He said it was fine because he was muted (though he couldn't hear the teacher) and told me he went to his room to find a comfy place to sit while listening to the library book (which was clearly a lie).
So, today he could barely make it though classes called Movement and Library. And he's home with us three days a week.
The one piece of good news is that tomorrow we get to drop him off at school. This is my motivation for waking up tomorrow morning.
