Kumon or Alternatives - For Kids - Help?
#4
Can you pull them out of their current school (assuming it's going to continue to be virtual meaning Zoom and whatnot pulled together badly for the rest of the school year), and put them in a virtual charter school for free in your state (assuming said school was virtual long before Covid came along, and the whole system was originally created to be online)?

My kid was doing this horrible hybrid virtual/on-campus thing that was the WORST. It was so much work, at a really fast pace, and he lost his mind. Once we pulled him out and put him in virtual charter school, it was SO MUCH better. He spends way less time doing schoolwork/busywork than his friends who are still in the hybrid fiasco of a system, and he feels like he's actually learning, while they all say they've learned nothing since last March.

Just another perspective. It's the same with college - ones that were already online are just fine, generally speaking, while those that tried to wing it are terrible (my daughter is in a CC now, she tells me horror stories from her friends).
