Does anyone home school their child and work? My rising 1st grader has been wanting to watch lots of TV this summer instead of a trial homeschool period, but I'm not happy with the public school choice, and I'm not happy with her current private school and have been strongly considering doing a co-op and homeschool online program. Any advice?

Of course your kid wants to watch tv, they are kids.

I think trying to homeschool a child that young while working is a terrible idea. The families that homeschool successfully typically have a stay at home parent who takes their children on educational excursions and activities to interact with other kids. They also spend a lot of time working with this kids on schooling.

Maybe if your kid was older and self sufficient. A first grader? No way. I can’t believe the public or private school would be a worse option that this.

Unless you can homeschool her outside of your work hours, I would advise against trying it. I know working moms who have home schooled older kids, once they're a little more self-sufficient, but I don't see how it would work with a first grader. I had to help my kindergarten and 2nd graders during covid and that was nearly impossible to do with work...and I didn't even have to plan any of it.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?

Hi Folks,

I'm in negotiation with the this data company (which is only 10 % over offered fixed ctc) but HR hasn't shown much confidence. They have asked for week's time & say can only offer a signing bonus. I'm getting a bit nervous as it's an opportunity I've always wanted!

Am I panicking unnecessarily? Should I hold my nerve? Or should I break the logjam and just accept?

PS I had just joined another org because they were taking too long to process + my dream co is only matching current CTC.
