Just did this but realized I put 2 “yes” answers🤦‍♀️... have you been keeping your kid home from school more often then usual throughout the pandemic? (by own choice, not government order)

Question

We’ve been giving our daughter(senior kindergarten) a lot of days off this and last year and Im beginning to feel like a bad mom because of it. Yes some days are for her mental health, but some are mental health days for myself if I’m being honest. It’s just a lot to deal with some mornings. 
Now I sit here with anxiety feeling like a failure cause I’m keeping her home yet again. 
Ugh.

Answer

Yes, I feel obligated to if she is having an asthma day or if she sneezes. Not something I would normally keep her home for.

Answer

Both my kids have been homeschooled since this started yes it’s hard sometimes but me and my husband have bad asthma and heart problems and didn’t want risking catching covid .

Answer

Nope, they go to school every chance they get.

Answer

My daughters school is only in person sessions for half the day. They are allowed to learn remotely when needed and we are allowed to opt out of in person learning. I work at home full-time. It’s definitely easier to keep her home because it’s just less to handle in the mornings, and I am very tempted to do so constantly, but I force myself to stick with our schedule most days for stability. I only keep her home if she’s sick. I think it’s definitely OK to do this when you really need to, but keeping in mind that keeping a good routine is important for both your stability and your child’s stability. If you feel that is extremely difficult to stick to your routine, and you really seem to be struggling, I think caring for your mental health with a therapist would be the best idea ￼so as not to keep disrupting the routine.... ￼or do remote learning if it’s easier for you.

Answer

Yes. I pulled my son out of preschool and now homeschool him after spending hundreds on schooling supplies, books, and educational toys from lakeshore learning he is now working on first grade work on top of kindergarten and preschool. He only was going twice a week and it wasn’t very effective for him so now he does a couple pages a day and one activity so the learning he is doing now is actually sticking with him!(: He absolutely loves it!

Answer

My children are fully remote this school year. That’s the choice I made. They’re 9 and 11

Answer

My school is doing an A B schedule I definitely make sure my child is there on the days she should be, the days were at home we do her work but I know I’m not the best teacher, Thts why I always make sure to send her I think it benefits her more.

Answer

I have my son full remote for pre-k. I am up in the air for next year for kindergarten. We do the best we can right now, but I am not sure he got enough out of pre-k to move onto kindergarten yet. I have set up a meeting with his teacher to discuss our options. I need to also step it up and do more with him at home, but it is a battle enough to get him to do the work with his class. We do some of the extra stuff she provides. It is tough right now.

Answer

My kids are teens so I let them make the choice.  One is doing remote schooling while the other attends in person (she’s add and asd so virtual was very difficult for her).  The one attending in person stays home more frequently only due to the stringent rules.  She’s had to qt twice due to exposure (not gotten covid though) and if she gets any cough at all she has to stay home.  I laughed the other day because we got an “absence warning” in the mail when it’s their rules we’re following 🙄🙄🙄
