I don’t tolerate shit behavior. I can easily teach my daughter what she needs to know. Probably can teach her more in 1/2 to 1 hour than she’d learn all day at school plus how to change fluids in the Jeep.
Well, I don't tolerate it either, but unfortunately my wife won't back me up. She tries to be all nice with them, but once they start back-talking or not listening, I'll but in and yell at them and tell them they will do their work or they'll lose stuff. My wife will then butt in and say, "don't say that", or "don't yell at them".
How am I supposed to parent when she's constantly overruling me
I probably have 10x my Jeeps worth in mods, so don't let that number stop you!
Homeschooling does sound pretty rough. I wouldn't even try to start with that. But I also don't understand how they expect to teach 2nd graders over zoom. The teacher's union in Chicago have had constant protests to start the school year online. How people who work with kids every single day think that having school online is best for them boggles my mind.
And that's the issue. It's one thing to teach high school kids or college kids online. That I get, and that I am okay with. However, for kids this young, a huge part of school is building social skills, making friends, etc.
I've seen a number of doctors (even Fauci himself) saying that school should go back, at least for the younger kids.
Our daughter has expressed numerous times how she wants to go to school and make friends (we did just move here so she doesn't really know anyone), and how she hates the online stuff. I get it, and I feel for her. It's not fair to do this to the little kids who really need the education.
