Hi. My son has always struggled with understanding and other things in school, but up until the first lockdown when he was in year 7 he managed to get there. Homework has always been a challenge.
When lockdown started and all the work was at home and lots of reading and understanding, until later there were some live lessons, it was often too much. During the first lockdown and summer even going outdoors was a challenge. So when they returned to school going in was often for parts of days, sometimes whole days and other days it was too much.
As time went on he gradually became more confident going out, but getting into school most days has been a challenge for him. When he makes it I often sense the struggle he goes through to get there.
I know I will never know the answer, but I wonder if things would have been any easier now without that time not in school. I think for his wellbeing the time at home helped.
I would be interested to hear of other people's experiences.
