Kindergarten.

Can someone explain this shit please

put the computer on youtube to make the kid pay attention

my son did it for the last couple months, it was basically about 45min to an hour per day, with half of that being a Math section and the other half being Reading/Language. These were online interactive lessons with the material he was learning.

I would sit with him and help talk him through what it was teaching him, but I am not a good teacher myself so I dont know how helpful I was. Fortunately he had been doing well prior to the Covid closure so it wasnt too bad, but he certainly would have learned more if he was still in a traditional class structure.

My son has a 30 minute class every day in which only 9 of the 21 kids ever show up. Then those kids break down into smaller groups and do more focused work.

He has about 4 assignments every week that can be done on Powerpoint or printed out and sent via an app. It doesn't sound too complicated, but the website where all this is done is an absolute clusterfuck where nothing ever works the way it's supposed to.
