I live in Houston, and Iām a high school teacher. I have a fourth grader and a pre-K child. They will be learning at home this year. I know that they will fall behind, but all of them are going to fall behind. Iād rather know for certain that my children are safe. Things get worse here in Houston every day.

Iām super upset about this. Iām so glad you asked as I havenāt voiced this yetā¦ But i have 3 kids in school 1 ready for VPK. We are a family that lives pay check to pay check. Here they have given us 3 choices. Eschool virtual school and brick and mortar. I have 1 computer. There is no way i can homesechool 3 kids on one computer. So I feel like us poorer families are just stuck sending them to school and pray for the best. 
I donāt want to send em to school at all, I have a child with breathing problemsā¦ If he gets this I donāt know if heāll make it. But I have no other choiceā:sob: I could help them i donāt think theyād fall behind, but I just canāt do it.

My son is in daycare (or was anyway) and is due to move onto preschool but hasnāt yet due to covidā¦ they are reopening soon but I feel like heās done more learning here to prep for kindergarten than he ever did all that time at daycareā¦ Iām in school right now and theyāve moved my college courses online for the fall semester so far, so Iāll be keeping him home to homeschool as long as I have the opportunity to do so.

As far as I can tell with things changing daily out here in Tucson Arizonaā¦ there is a chance If you send your kid to school they wont learn in person there either. They will learn online or papers while monitors basically watch small groups to ensure theyāre following social distancing ect ā¦

We are doing remote learning and if for some reason thats not a good option we will do virtual homeschooling online.
I work, so school from home has been a serious stress and juggling act for me. In the end, itāll be what my daughter wants and feels most comfortable with. Iām not going to deprive her of school and her friends if sheās wanting to attend, but it seems sheās being fed scare tactics by one of her grandmothers, so itās yet to be determined how SHE truly feels
Our school is letting us do online courses in the fall. Most people are going back but we have a letter from my sons immunologist stating that my boys should not attend. I think they are also giving the option to do a few days in the classroom, and a few days online to people who are uncomfortable.It seems like a lot of people are not worried about it in Oklahoma though, so I think quite a few will be in the classroom. One school official at my sons school stated that she thought weād be closed before the semester is over with. My goal is to keep my immune deficient kiddo safe (well everyone safe), but it stinks because they are the ages where being social is their number one priority. They are pretty bummed.
Not this one! Our girls struggled big time with online school they need that in person learning
My oldest is doing online school but thatās cuz she has issues in regular school. I have no issue at all sending my other 2 kids to school the end of August.
Most people confuse home schooling with public online school. A public online school provides a great education with ready available teachers to teach and answer question. Choose a fully accredited online curriculum

Thankful to be able to homeschool. With me being home, I cannot justify sending them to school. Not only because of covid, but ear infections, flu, strep throatā¦ you name it, our kids are constantly sick during the school year. Itās been so nice to have them home and healthy.

My kids are going. The absolutely refuse to stay home and do online if they have the option to go to school. This is also their junior and senior year of high school so I feel they are old enough to help make the decision about their education. Just like the seniors who just graduated and had their senior year ruined we need to at least let this yearās seniors attempt to have a great year.

I wish I could send the kids to school, but I canāt trust other parents will follow guidelines to ensure the entire safety of the schools. We have 3 immune compromised adults in our home and will also have a newborn during flu season so to ensure the safety of our home my kids will be homeschooled.
Besides, if anyone tests positive for it within the school, theyāll shut it back down anyways.

During summer school here in Texas a few students came out positive so if only very few students were attending a high school and came out positive imagine if all the kids are together. SMH this is scary and needs to stop being politized

Virtual. I definitely need a refresher. Yes, teachers are more equipped to give the kiddos what they need. Reality is, it will be hella difficult to have CHILDREN abide by the CDC rules. They donāt see the severity of it like PARENTS do. I rather be safe than sorry. For both others children as well as my own. MY OPINION OFC.

Iām currently torn too! My kiddos are 8&9 and young kids donāt fully get the social distancing thing. I know single parents who have no choice but to go to work will send their kiddo to school sick. Iāve been there before when I was a single mom it was I had to be at work or risk losing my job. I have no family. I thankfully have a work from home job so itās really tearing me into 2! I know my kids benefit more at school with structure but I also donāt want to take the chance of them getting covid

Iām a single parent and an essential healthcare worker. My sonās daycare is open for essential workers but thereās no way I can continue to afford it. So Iām hoping schools open again. We did distance learning in April and May but I had to take off from work to do it. I can no longer afford to take off of work and we donāt get home until 6:30pm most nights so homeschool is not an option for me. But Iām also concerned about sending him back to school because weāre both āhigh riskā.

My children are my life, not the governmentās guinea pigs. I also have too many immunocompromised people in my life. I also am letting my child decide what she wants to do. We also have a dual income house, full time and overtime mandatory jobs. We do not have the luxury of a nanny or sitter and have more than 1 child. Virtual learning it is, to protect our babies.

My daughter was supposed to start preschool. Still little so she doesnāt HAVE to go to school yet but I feel like I would want to Homeschool if I was able to. Iāve only been out of high school for two years so I remember very well how quickly Illness spreads in the school setting. I canāt imagine risking that w Covid if I have the choice. Unless schools hire more staff I donāt foresee them being able to meet all the requirements that it would take to reopen schools and it to be safe . Especially in low income areas and when it comes to sanitation

Your post includes 2 different things. Homeschooling is where you as the parent pick and develop the curriculum and teach it. Distance/virtual learning the child is still in public schools, the teacher sends out the assignments/grades them.

We are doing the distance learning even as opposed to homeschooling as I always have been. I am a nurse and am constantly being exposed at work, I donāt want my daughter taking it to her school. I also donāt trust the school to protect her from it because the community is ignoring all safety guidelines. If the hours donāt work out for us, I will have to take her out of the school system and homeschool her through another program.

I only have one still left in the school and he is a junior but he plays football and will definitely be attending school. He has had a horrible time adjusting to virtual learningā¦ he dropped from all straight aās to failing more than half of his classes. Thank God they didnāt count the last nine weeks towards their grade. He needs to be in touch with every teacher every week I donāt care if they set it up to where they only go certain days each week and rotate but he needs to be in touch with every teacher every week. His education is very important to me. And my kids school district is taking the necessary precautions that I feel comfortable with. Not to mention his social development has suffered. It breaks my heart as a parent

Mine is doing distance learning. Sorry but staying in 1 classroom all day long with no breaks and having a wear a mask on top of that, hes not in prison.

I am, if our district offers the remote learning and if not homeschool for at least just this year because last year my 2nd son had gotten very sick last year, and was sick for almost a month missed so much constantly had a high fever, cough which then turned into pneumonia then my daughter had gotten sick then my oldest got sick it was horrible, and my oldest has had issues with asthma and to us itās just not worth it. Iād take the fights and everything over them
Potentially being hospitalized.
U do what feels right for u there is so many on line learning tools and if u live in boise idaho barea there is a shop near the mall that sells all sorts of learning activities crafts and materials for learning so u do what u think is best
I feel if the parents that can homeschool keep their kids at home then the kids that have to go to school can and it wonāt be as crowded and a little safer.
Nope. Mine will be going to school

I am in Indiana. It is up to the school district as to what they are going to do and what date they are going to start. The district my kids go to plans to start on August 4th. Parents have an option to do traditional or virtual school. I have chose traditional school because I have to work and my families Financials suffered greatly when we had to do the virtual school at the end last year. I am happy with all the precautions that are being taken in our district. I will just have to see how it goes.
I have been thinking & stressing over what to do however the new cases are rising like crazy here in Michigan & just today on the news they said this fall/winter will be the deadliest so far. When the flu season hits itās goin to be HORRIBLE! They said u can get the flu & COVID(at the same time) & if u have them both at the same time your immune system CANNOT handle if. So my decision after hearing that is to home school. I donāt want to, my daughter needs structure & a class room setting but her health is WAYYYYY more important.
This will be the first year for my youngest but weāve done it a couple years prior. I wish we started sooner. After this year weāll see if we want to go back to brick and mortar, but I cannot trust random guesses as to what will happen to children. Kids get sick and touch, cough, sneeze etc and it travels like wildfire. Imagine Covid on top of another illness-no one knows what would happen. Besides, the government expects a small percentage will die and they consider it acceptable. One child, any child, is unacceptable to me.
Our district is continuing e-learning until at least fall. Iāll watch what happens with the other schools before I send mine back.
I was going to but just learned tonight that honors classes will not be taught during digital learning so Iāll have to send at least my oldest to school.
I work full time so mine are going to school.
