Honestly what a mess.
All schools and individual teachers are doing it differently.
We have two kids at high school and being thrown work for them to do together with numerous Zoom calls.
The work is being posted on their school portal in different file formats, plus lots of it have been formatted to be at a resolution that is actually unreadable both on screen and when printed out.
Scheduled Zoom calls with no links, or being sent minutes before the start time.
The zoom call with no microphone or video of the kids, so what's the point?
Don't start me on those sending their kids to school as being a 'key worker'.
Officially I'm classed as a key worker, but with my time 50% working from home and the Mrs working from home, I don't think it's right that we should send them to school. Many are however allowable under the rules.
My eldest at 15 is okay sorting herself out mostly.
However my youngest at 11 needs constant help, and we are both working full time at the same time...
It's not easy!
