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.

Hi fishes,

Got an offer from Amazon for Data Engineer-2

Bonus - 10LPA (over 2 years)
RSU-137 (over 4 yrs) worth 13.5 LPA,standard Amazon vesting

I moved to my current company just a month back but Amazon process was in progress, so leaving in probation. I don't think they considered TC of my current company (17 LPA from 7.5 LPA) as it's been just a month. Any views regarding the offer and TC offered.

Thanks already!
