Ideas for parents that have kids home from school

Read the Bible

Evil are the days

Brainpop is a neat tool. Here's another perspective: children are ALWAYS learning. They don't need endless assignments and worksheets and busy work in order to learn. In fact, too much of that bs hinders true learning! These are interesting times. SAVOR AND ENJOY the time you are spending with your children at home! Play games, watch movies together, go over family photos, sit together and read books. Really get to know your children outside the realm of authoritarian parenting and factory schooling and just telling them what to do all the time. It's possible we could be starving in our homes soon--don't let their lives end with worksheets and busy work from a system intented to process children into mindless worker drones!

Most kids are getting sent home with devices and will do assignments online.

Buy a homeschool program and educate your children as God instructed you to do not pass the buck to government as a lazy sob.

It's exciting to be alive during these times!

Utah has implemented a soft closure of all schools for the next two weeks.

Work will be done from home via computer.

Please COVER your kids school-provided laptop camera with tape when not in use!!!!!

I just got a email, online school is most likely cancelled too.

My backyard is yuuuuuge!

Teaching kids of all ages to cook and follow recipes provides lessons in reading, math and science. Once they master that, it becomes a creative exercise. They don't feel like it's school work, their help is welcome and needed, and it's a life skill they desperately need.

Gardening is another good and similarly cross-disciplined subject that can get as complicated as is age appropriate at the higher levels.

If a parent or responsible guardian is home, some nails and boards, balsa wood and sandpaper, wood glue, ruler, and tools appropriate for the age could be put to good use.

Even better if the child or adult finds a bird house, bird feeder, plant container, or other plans online. Researching, measuring, planning, organizing, and making a project can include english, math, science, and whatever else you want to include.

Planting seeds in small peat pots, planting peas outdoors can be done in most places now. Spading and making a small garden or flower area to enjoy all summer.

A ball. Much science there, along with a board to roll it down, a basket to toss it it, and imagination. They'll figure it out.

Simple recipes. Look some up together. Measuring cups, spoons, mixers, sifters, and ingredients. Once again, math, science, reading, health, safety.

Large index cards for a child to write their recipe to save. A large recipe box or photo album to store them.

I'll stop now. I get carried away. Could be a nightmare, or it could be one of the most pleasant and memorable times of a family's life.

Prescription for Valium?.......

Valium, lots of it.

And not for the kids...

hahaha I thought the same thing...

Lots of shit to do around the house and projects..cultivate responsibility..might be as valuable to a child/ young adult as the brainwashing of education if not more.
