When I began teaching remotely, it was to accomodate my children's schedules and to spend more time with them. I often find that the contrary is true. Rather than spending quality time with my youngest son (pre-K), I find that he is often frustrated because "Mommy has to work." We've tried schedule variations, but he feels left out because his brother and all the other kids go to school on the bus and he stays home alone with me, and my time has to include my teaching load and my housework. Challenging!
