Yes, it’s always the women who will get responsibility of the child in every scenario. Homeschooling has only burdened their daily routine with the extra work and effort they have to put in with child. Homeschooling is not that easy although, the child is the student, but the mother plays an equally important role in their homeschooling. Because a child is not able to understand the technology aspects properly, so she has to intervene and make them study properly.
Due to this woman tends to get irritated with the undue presence of them in their online schooling. Also, some women handle this very efficiently by coping up the schedule according to the child homeschooling schedule. Once they get used to setting routine they can manage easily and go with the flow. Though the responsibility is an extra task for the woman as they have a lot of other works to do at the home and still manage the homeschooling of their child.
Most of the women feel that homeschooling is draining their energy and affecting them negatively. Some women think that their relationship with a child and other members of the family is being neglected and forming an unpleasant bond between all of them. Another sections of woman claims that homeschooling is affecting their work and the mental health. Due to all these they are not being able to keep on check of their health and they were loosing out the time for their self.

The women who are not much educated and not aware of technical aspects of the homeschooling are finding it very tuff to help their child in homeschooling. There is no rule that only women should help the child in homeschooling the father should also participate and help his child for home-schooling and lower the burden of the woman’s.
