The Bay Area goes into lock-down mode to battle the coronavirus, and I survive my first day of homeschooling. Grade? C+
I talk about what worked, what didn't, wonder whether handwriting is a necessary skill or an unnecessary waste of time & blow off a little steam about how difficult it is to watch educational videos using Youtube with young children.

Today is Day 2 of the "No School Diary".

The Bay Area is shut down for coronavirus.
My oldest son wishes he were a Native American instead of a modern day suburbanite.
My middle son doesn't get to watch spider videos because...technology.
I survive the day with some small victories and minor setbacks.
Finally, handwriting...worth it, or not?
