Deon And Karen Derrico Press On
While Doubling Down With The Derricos hasn’t had it easy previously, Deon and Karen Derrico’s split brings new challenges. Undeniably, seeing GG go through her cancer battle and watching Amani struggle with his transplants and then sadly pass away, the family is still pressing on. Last week, she showed an update about the kiddos as they were excitedly packing bags and heading to school. However, she notes it isn’t without challenges. Now, she is giving a peek behind the curtain of what schooling looks like now for her kids.
Karen Derrico Shares Challenges Of Schooling Kids After Divorce
On Saturday, August 24, Karen Derrico updated Doubling Down With The Derricos fans with photos on Instagram of how the school year is going so far. While Karen and Deon’s oldest daughter, Darian Derrico, graduated, Karen is still hybrid schooling thirteen kids. Undoubtedly, the family is facing many transitions right now and school is just one aspect. Even though the kids were packed up to attend school, Karen shares about the new hybrid learning model they are using.
Settling Into A New School Year With Big Change
Along with the photos, Karen Derrico captions: “Week 2 of school is done! 🤓🤓Whew hew!!!!” Although the first day of school shows the kids are happy and healthy, there are still challenges with any school year, especially with the marriage ending. Karen shares there are some challenges, continuing, “Each week I’m tweaking, constantly figuring out what works and doesn’t work!” But Karen knows change takes time. She adds, “It takes about 6 weeks to really get you and your children with a good rhythm so I’m not beating myself up too badly! 😉.”
School Time Adjustments
Several of the photos show groups of kids sitting and studying together with course worksheets. While their big table is great for family meals, it doubles as the perfect space for kids to spread out and focus on learning.
Additionally, some of the kids pull up to the benches and use them as desks as well. Karen Derrico shows lots of school supplies including computers for the kids to alternate between. In the last clip, one of her daughters gains a crowd as she carefully plays a game on the computer.
But the excitement erupted when she reached her goal on the game. They all dance and celebrate together. Furthermore, Karen explains the setup for the new school year. She adds, “Hybrid education for those that don’t know, means your child spends time on the school campus, however all their school work is done at home. Campus day(s) are for additional academic support/ clubs! Anyway, back to preparing for week 3! 🤪Happy Saturday 🥰🥰.”
Fans Send Encouraging Words
After Karen Derrico posted the photos of how the children are going through week two, several people sent encouraging words to the mom for her incredible job.
- ” It looks like you stayed in the big house ! Good for you and your sanity ! Good luck for this school year!”
- “Good for you Karen and your children, I love this for them, Happy Learning 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️.”
- “Fantastic 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 that sounds like a good fit. Fantastic mother, Fantastic choices for your children 👏🏾 Thanks for sharing 🩷🩷🩷🩷.”
- “They will learn much more st home then school . It’s a great idea to keep home for the education portion. Schools are not such great places as they were. They are so anti God.”
Some Fans Let Karen Derrico Know What They Think About The Hybrid Choice
- “I’m so glad they are in public school. Your kids are so well mannered n respectful.”
- “You have the patience of Job. Homeschooling is not for the weak. I truly admire your ability to teach your children yourself. I wanted to do it myself but chileeee my patience is thin lol. Way to go.”
- One fan questions Karen Derrico’s choice, “Please don’t take this as a criticism, but why don’t your children attend a tradition or charter public school?” Then, Karen explains, “Well,actually they do attend public a school. It’s a very small teacher to student ratio. In their kindergarten class, it’s only 5 of them. My triplets make up over half of the class! And they have in the past attended a public school. @deonderrico and I do not want our children in a traditional 5 day a week program, and we are grateful to God that we are able to both be hands on with them. ❤️.”
- “Well said! And parents are allowed to make that decision. It’s all up to what the parents want and can do.”
