it went ok, my eldest coped with the work but was too isolated and did start to effect his mental health
Home schooling went okay although I’m sure my daughter wouldn’t have this bad attitude with her teachers if they correct her.
It went okay – harder than i thought but good to see what they are doing
It went well at first but then I think his mental health was starting to suffer
It went well, was good to be involved
My sister is Autistic so home schooling at first was challenging but we found a way like every child does and she loves to draw and colour so she would be over the moon to win these
It was really hard but managed to get the kids to do quite a bit of work in the end
My granddaughter enjoyed home school and kept both me and my daughter busy finding new worksheets and activities for her to do.
As I am a qualified primary school teacher, it went very well!
Absolute rubbish after first couple of weeks
I was fortunately on mat leave so it made it a whole lot easier without having to juggle work as well
Home schooling went reasonably well. He did work if he there was a reward.
Home schooling was a disaster and we gave up.
it went ok
It didn’t affect me but my granddaughter found it hard
Not too bad we were very organised
Pretty well – we had our moments but my son didn’t fall behind & my daughter actually improved at reading substantially.
Home school had it ups and downs for us. But my daughter did so well and I actually kinda miss it.
It went ok but they don’t listen to me like they would a teacher.
Lovely pens
We did find it very hard to begin with, and towards the summer holidays my daughter seemed to loose interest again.
My daughter seemed to enjoy spending the extra time sitting down and doing the work with me, but not the actual learning part. Sometimes it seemed like a constant fight just to get her to do work which would take her 10 minutes to complete.
It started off well and then my youngest soon got bored of the online activities. My daughter mainly got on with her work but prefers being back in the classroom x
Home schooling was amazing…for the first 3 weeks then the juggling became too much and I decided the priority was that my 4 kids were safe and happy along with mam and dad! We did lots of things together and learnt a lot, though I’m not sure Ofsted would give me the best report!
Glad to be back at school!
Started off well, then dropped off a cliff after the Easter holidays! Hope we don’t have to go through all that again!
It was very testing at times, not as easy as first thought
We had our own way of learning, and I got very involved in trying new ways to make things interesting, as that’s the only way they’ll concentrate! It went as well as it could!
It went ok we did alot of outdoor learning which made it easier
Thankfully ok as my little one is focused and keen ❤️ Phew
Daughter just had to keep revising so not too bad for us
I was working & hubby furloughed… but my son wanted me to do more of the teaching. that got stressful!
As with everything in life, it had its good days and bad days, overall there were more good days than bad though
It went ok. There were moments of absolute terror but also some good times too….will never moan about not having enough time again
I’m a step mum so during lockdown we had the two kids twice a week! We tended to play educational games as well as having music lessons. I don’t envy their mum she was home schooling four children.
Not great! I had to work from home and it was impossible to teach kids at the same time!
It started so good but went down hill after a few weeks, the teenagers didn’t like been told what needed doing
Home schooling is hard work
I home-educated my oldest before the pandemic anyway (youngest in school) so it wasn’t such a shock for me as it was for some parents.
Didn’t go too well with my niece. She is a teenager and it was hard to motivate her.
Started well, but ended badly. Don’t think I was the only one though.
We enjoyed it for the first few weeks and had a weekly project but once the novelty had worn off it became a chore
After the intial upheaval it went rather well – we embraced it all
It was a complete and utter disaster. Not much “school2 learning happened but we had a good time and they learnt things that aren’t taught in school.
We really enjoyed it. Especially my youngest who is 8 – loads of fun and relaxed learning. Harder for the older two.
I am granny so only had to do this once a week thankfully. I now have even greater respect for teachers.
Oh yes, don’t we all!
It was difficult trying to juggle working with home schooling but I loved the actual home schooling when I was able to do it.
I supported my grandchildren through Skype with their home schooling
Amazing!! How wonderful of you 🙂
It didn’t go very well, the teacher struggeled to concentrate in class and was feeling hungover…
Home schooling went well, me and my daughter both enjoyed it and I tried to keep it fun. The big thing was she missed her friends.
I’m a Grandma, so very enjoyable for me! However, I did do a zoom lesson each day with each of my grandchildren to help out their parents.
Oh wow Karen – you total star, how amazing, what a wonderful help to their parents!
It was hard work, I had a job to get my little ones motivated to do any work as they see home& school very differently. Home is their space for chill & fun times. We all did our best and that’s all anyone can ask x
It was really difficult especially with two children with additional needs it was a challenge but we did our best ☺️
Mine were too young to concentrate but we managed to get my son reading before starting his first year at school so that was a big milestone.
We didn’t do too bad, did the boring subjects for first couple of hours, then did the fun creative stuff on the afternoon!
Home schooling started ok but went downhill towards the end
It went very well thank you.
Child and subject needs varied. Difficult at times.
It went really well and we had a routine in place
I am a grandparent but my observations were that it was a challenge but very rewarding!
School went fine for me up and downs but over all not too bad.
my nephew adjusted to it really well
there were good days and bad days
Still doing it. My son is 10, he has profound learning difficulties and clinically is extremely vulnerable to covid19 so we feel still isn’t safe for him to reintegrate with school. Fortunately his special school are totally supportive. I keep things simple and utilise our unique situation to learn life skills as well as following the curriculum laid out by his teacher. Fortunately I am trained as a teacher, (though haven’t taught for many years). so it’s not entirely alien to me!
A real grind!
Not too bad on the whole but some days we lacked motivation
It was hard work! My 8 year old was easily distracted by her 3 year old sister who was obviously too young to sit still for long!
It was tough, I’m glad I’m not a teacher
It got a lot easier once we started to share it between the two of us, hearing it from just me lead to too many arguments!
Interesting as a teacher, step mum and heavily pregnant mum to be. I’m on maternity leave now to recover
My daughter is older so kind of left her to it but not sure how much she actually did. I work in a school so it’s nice to be back
Home schooling was ok. I feel like I could have more patience. I found it very difficult.
It was fine, but everyone was bored of it after a few weeks.
I am now suffering PTSD from home schooling
Thank you for the chance to win this
Rewarding when they’re engaged, frustrating when they’re not!!
I was stressful. I have a new appreciation for teachers
Ok, but not brilliant.
It went well, there were a lot of resources available online which made it easy.
Complete torture! I am so relieved they are back at school now.
Challenging – glad that they are back in school
I found it quite enjoyable. It was good to see hiw and what the kids learn.
Loved it, I planned for the week including fun activities in between learning
