A very stressful day for me today.. My son have long exam in their all subjects today that will serve as review for their quarter exam next week. But we did not receive any announcement so we did not prepare. It was quite a challenge for my son and me except for Math which is surprisingly easy (I did not expect that at all). While this was happening, I was waiting also for my delivery rider who will get the 120 muffins I baked yesterday for delivery. Then I helped my daughter with a very complicated pulmo-circulatory flowchart the Science teacher want them to do as homework. ugh. 
Why do they have to complicate things?21 people like this

Schools nowadays needs to adjust their curriculum so it doesn't add stress to kids.

@rakski that is extremely difficult to pull off considering the situation that we are in.

@allen0187 I agree and given their age. They were not that techy since last year

I think they do that since they know that their students will be assisted by their parents in preparing their assignments. Whereas if they are in schools they will do that on their own. 
That is something different now that the lessons are delivered straight online so if they will offer something similar to what they do in classes it will be easier for the students with the help of their parents.

I'm willing to bet the teachers just like to keep things fun for parents and students... You can't blame them for wanting to see how enterprising people are, especially at the last moment.

@DaddyEvil huh!?! I think so too. Last year, they did not even know how to operate zoom and other platforms, now they became the computer wizards

@DaddyEvil I'm glad I don't have kids at school. I'd never be able to help them pass.

Your children are lucky you are able to help, not all parents are as good at homework as you.

This is the case in most Indian schools. Government school performance is very bad where children learn hardly anything. We therefore put our children in private schools where parents have to work hard a lot. I too had the same stressful time when my children were in school.
