Yes, it's been awhile. Almost a year ago since my last post for this blog. So what changes have been made? Just trying to survive life with autism. And I was doing pretty good until today schooling from home started.
Started prepping everything for Doodle to do schooling from home last week. Couldn't get into the classes to even see anything. This morning finally got it all figured out and then I logged in. Only two classes were listed to be seen. Couldn't see anything else. I'm spending such much of my time reading to my child her classwork that I will not be able to get anything done for my own business.
Oh you want me to turn in class assignments? Where??? We answer the questions we do what we are suppose to do and click that the assignment has been finished but the notification that the work was not submitted is the issue.
Look there is a reason why I never home schooled Doodle. And I've had plenty of opportunities in the past. Online schooling is not necessarily created for kids with sever disabilities. I have been trying to teach my kid how to learn anything her entire life and I've never been successful at it. Yes, I can get her to do school work, that's not a problem. It's teaching her that's the problem. I was unsuccessful with potty training. She didn't manage that until she was almost 7 years old. Never could get her to read, no matter how many books I read to her or words I tried to teach her. She didn't speak until she was almost 7 years of age.
I will say it, I'm frustrated and mad as hell. This online learning is a shit show! We do the work, answer the questions and submit that everything is completed and yet it says no work submitted. I am beyond frustrated!
Look I've done my time! I should not be coming back to learn the 8th grade. I've done more than enough of my time when you throw in my college degree. Which I also feel was a waste of time I might add. Business administration degree. Did it teach me anything I needed to know about running a business. No that was all trail and error and a lot of help from my friend who owns his own company. And he didn't go to college.
So at this point we are opting out of online learning. We will do a paper trail for the rest of the week while I try to figure out how I'm suppose to get any of her school done with her and I can get to my own work done for my business. I'm used to juggling multiple projects but this project is too far out of my reach to help on.
I'm either going to cry for the rest of the week or become an alcoholic cause there's only two options right now.
Doodle is at the point where she is stimming so much it's unbearable for me. I know that it's going to take a bit to work all the kinks out, I understand that, but we've been on spring break for 3 weeks now and surely someone has got to have a better plan for parents who work and children with disabilities. Doodle learns differently than what I can teach her.
This mornings lesson for social studies was to learn about the coliseum. How it was made, the construction of it. Well just doing a virtual tour and reading about it is not how Doodle learns with me. For her to grasp it I would need to teach her to construct her own with modeling clay. And that's where I am failing. She's not grasping anything that I'm reading to her, she's waiting on me to give her the answers and that's not fair to her or myself.
So as of right now. She's sick. Give me who I need to turn in the sick note too cause this is just horrible on all parts!
I'm headed out to go get Doodle's paper packet and then get work done on the publishing company.
See you guys on the flip side.
