What to do...

The work goes slowly as far as the discussion boards are concerned. Even the voice threading is going slowly but that may be a reflection of the cirucumstances of my schedule. I have too much to do and apparently not enough time right now to dedicate to being in my room so kids and work, but then when I am available they are in a core subject and I feel that taking them out of core subjects is not in keeping with good education...any suggestions for solutions?
