Mine are kinder and third grade. I'm a jr high teacher. I feel for my elementary colleagues because for the younger kids it IS the socialization and hands-on learning. That is much harder to do at home. My students and high school students are simply more capable of self-starting and working independently on assignments. It's a mess, and I feel like I'm doing twice the work even as I try to manage a reasonable amount of work expected for students. Elementary needs more teacher support and is less "product" based as it is... The kids just want to see their friends.
