Anyone get any advice? I’m one hour in and already the kids are on snack/break time.

My kids don’t listen to me at the best of times. Got no hope in this climate.

Has the school sent you any resources?

My girl is 6 in year two. She has resources fro the school.

It’s my lad who is 3 nearly 4 will be the issue. He’s in nursery so don’t think it’s paramount for him to be doing loads but the teachers in the nursery where still expecting us to do things. Me and the wife both remote working from home as key workers so can’t spend much time with them as would like.

I've offered to help the local 6th form girls if any of them need extra tuition. So far my offer has had little response.

Here's an Irish website that my wife uses, not sure if it will be locked to UK users, they are giving a months free subscription in Ireland. There are bits in Irish but most is in English.

Have them watch the wire from start to finish, in our post virus world they’ll need to be street smart not book smart

I can hear my wife pulling her hair out in the kitchen with the kids. They're giving her the runaround. Looks like there'll be a few detentions this evening.

That's a tough situation to be in. I think you are right your almost 4 year old doesn't need to be doing anything much educationally, really you now have a great opportunity to get him at a foreign language, even some picture cards with some words in French or German, you'd get them on line, like a sponge at that age, my oldest is just gone 4 and we bought a deck of cards with Irish words and within a week he's learned 100 Irish words.

In all seriousness, my eldest lad is in year 9 and half the stuff they’ve sent through he can’t do due to the software or it’s stuff like baking a Swiss Roll or painting some flowers.

Like any self respecting 14 yr old North Face ninja, is gonna don his pinny or get his easel out !

I’m just concentrating on the stuff that will matter for next year with him.
