My 3 year old child’s teachers won’t stop calling me.

No

I know it’s their job, I know they aren’t getting paid if they don’t show proof that they’re still keeping in touch and teaching the children something while schools are closed. But I feel like they need to give us mothers a break too.

I’m Muslim so it’s fasting month for us , because of that the children and me have a pretty weird schedule. They don’t sleep until 2-3am and I don’t sleep until 5am after I have eaten and prayed, at 10am I start getting calls non stop for for child to come join Zoom class even though only 5-6 kids out of 20 kids come on everyday and those kids aren’t even paying attention they’re running around with their phones or iPads or leave the conference towards and ceiling and do whatever they want. If we miss the 10am sessionss they start calling me constantly until I pick up the phone.

I appreciate all the work teachers are putting in to keeping with the kid’s but they have to understand my point too. I don’t have only one kid. I have another who has ASD and she constantly needs my attention every 5 mins and then the 3 year old who is supposed to be learning starts acting stubborn and annoyed because she doesn’t want to sit and listen to a lecture. Everyone knows children tend to act differently around parents then teachers. When she was in school she’d never cry never throw a tantrum that she doesn’t want to listen but at home it’s different. I can’t force her or slap her to listen to them through the phone. And I’m sorry but the child is only 3 years old I don’t understand why the child needs a 40 mins lecture on photosynthesis. I wish they would understand that 3 years old aren’t interested in all that right now they just want to do something fun and learn , not sit there and stare at you talk on and on about something they don’t even understand yet . Idk if this makes me a bad parent or not but I just feel like they’re doing too much. I even told her my situation that everyone’s routines have changed , the kids don’t wake up at 8am like they did for school. They don’t even like talking to their family members on the phone I have to chase them to say hi so I’m sorry if the child isn’t sitting for the lectures. I just don’t want to be rude but calling me non stop won’t make any difference. I don’t mind them calling me after a certain time but -10am is too early for someone who literally just slept 3-4 hrs ago. I have other teachers who call me but they call me after 2pm which is great because they’re fully awake and alert to learn but If she’s sleeping am I supposed to add her to the lecture while she’s asleep? 😒
