My nephew does exactly that.

private and public elementary and high schools have been providing daily remote learning classes for the past 6 weeks and will be continuing for at least another 6 weeks.

I instituted Science School for all the concerns you have. I offer all and any student to ask a question. Qs are answered every day. Chemistry, physics, biology, earth science... What do you wonder about?

About 60 students aged 7-17 agreed ; only 11 remain. this is school with assignments. Every reply gets a reply.

I know lots and lots of science and how to talk to kids.

But overall the project failed. Kids did not ask questions or read follow-ups.

online instruction...one is Soc Study 8th grade, the other, DIL, 7th grade Math in AZ...business as unusual..still faculty meet ups-conferencing, lesson planning..etc..teachers are essential for the well being of students..

An interesting article from the new Superintendent in Mesa AZ..online teaching is bringing more clarity to the teachers as to understanding where their students are coming from..awareness for the teachers..

kindergarten boys, 1 'pre-k' girl, and one 10 month old girl. The boys' teachers send content so my daughters can 'instruct' from home, call it what you will; they're reading and learning to read.

I'd say that many parents are, in fact, partnering with the professionals to help deliver the quality content that the teachers have researched and provided. Home schooling involves curriculum development and state approval.

My grandchildren are being taught at home.

that must be pre-submitted and approved.

All NYS children are currently "being taught at home". Those whose parents have approved IHIPs are being home schooled. The rest are being educated remotely by their teachers, often with the help of parents.

so is my next door neighbor and kids here most definitely aren't being "home schooled." They're being taught by qualified educators who pulled off the near impossible just as schools were closing down. No playbook. No protocols. They had to make it up from scratch and did a fantastic job.

Thank you for pointing this out

Not all kids have devices and/or computers and internet access at home.

after they have shown (and are still showing) maximum flexibility, creativity, and dedication to their students' learning, the other shoe to drop may be states laying off (highly unionized) educators...Betsy DeVos, Koch, and McConnell and their ignorant ilk are watering at the mouth at this prospect.

And if the parents don't stand with them, kids will not get the results of that work.

her teachers with coming up with some wonderful on line reading programs and her father and mother for hanging right in there with her. Aside from the socialization, educationally, she doesn't seem to have missed a thing. The teachers at her school only had about a week to put all of this together and they did a wonderful job as far as I can see.
