How does that work? Do they message/email you questions? Surely they can still ask face-to-face questions - they'd ask questions at home still?
Yep the program allows them to send DMs to me, and I get back to them ASAP. They can ask questions to a parent at home but there's no guarantee parents will be able to help if they haven't been part of the learning prior or the structures and routines of that particular class. If the student wants me, that's how they have to go about it. At least until we've got some more training around direct video, but even that has its own challenges/risks with privacy, safety, access etc.
I will say that most of the parents who are at home with their kids have been great and sent me an email whenever they're stuck or need a hand themselves. It's refreshing to see after coming from an environment where that hasn't been the case, and unfortunately for a lot of students/schools, still won't be.
