Day 2 of cyber school observations

Tweet

When we were enrolling they told us my 9 year old son would only be spending 20% of his school day online. Yesterday I didn't think that seemed correct so I kept a closer eye today on times. We spent 5.71 hrs on school work today. 4.11 hours were spent on the computer and 1.6 hrs were spent doing bookwork offline. Seems more correct if they had said only 20% of school work is NOT done on computers. The day started with homeroom at 8:15 am. where they did a multiplication problems. The first actual class was Science at 8:50 am. They watched a video and talked about layers of skin. This class ended at 9:50 so I let my son go do whatever he wanted until the next class started. He chose to watch youtube videos. At 10:30 was Math. The teachers power went out so we were confused for a bit until she relogged in to class. The class then went over word problem division. The last class was ELA at 11:20. The class was reviewing what they had learned while they read Flat Stanley. We hadn't read the story so we just listened to the class participating. That ended at noon. I let my son have another break for a half hour and he again chose youtube videos to watch. I made him lunch and then we sat and did work the teacher had assigned from 12:30 until 3:50. 96 minutes was offline today during this but the majority was online. Oh before I forget my son taught me a trick to count by 9s by adding 10 and subtracing one. I was impressed.
