Home schooling is not going well and I’m beginning to dread Mondays.

Our son’s teacher uploads to Google Classroom work on Monday morning with a Friday due date, but he can usually burn through it by Wednesday afternoon. Once he understands what to do, it’s generally not a problem. The issue is getting to a place of understanding and me trying to find the patience to help.
The real problem is when he is trying to find answers to his questions when we don’t understand either or are completely occupied. We’re in York region which has decided, in an effort to be fair to everyone, not to have any real-time learning with video chats between students and teachers. Apparently there is a concern not everyone will have that technical capability.
I get that, but the argument falls apart when the Durham and Toronto regional school boards (directly to the east and south-west of us, respectively) do have video chats with their students. That seems like a natural place for student-teacher interaction and an opportunity to get clarity or direction.
Or, maybe, how about a regular phone call? If a family doesn’t have video chat capabilities, I’m sure they can take a phone call.
