Oh man, I can definitely relate to you here. I have two kids and we've been doing distance learning since the school year started in August. It's definitely been rough, especially on my younger kid (she's 9). It's just really unorganized and, up until about a week ago, she was only in class for about an hour and a half and expected to learn the rest on her own. That's a lot to ask of most people, but even more to ask from a 4th grader. It's definitely been a challenge getting her to stay motivated and engaged. It's also really given me an even higher respect for teachers because, man, getting kids to understand material and not have a meltdown when they don't understand something is SO HARD.

I also completely agree with you about their socialization. I can definitely see where my kids are starting to slip when it comes to social interactions, maintaining friendships, etc.

Fingers crossed this all ends sometime this year so they can eventually get back to normal school.
