This is also true - the summer regression is real and measurable. It's like they've had a year of summer. |
Thanks for the suggestion - I've written to them. |
My kid has also been doing the work and logging in to class and his handwriting has become illegible, he can no longer spell basic words and he has forgotten almost all his division/multiplication facts (5th grade AAP!). And I think his reading hasn't improved in over a year. Are parents supposed to be teaching a parallel homeschool curriculum in addition to the FCPS Google Slides Curriculum? |
Ha I cannot believe the drama that would ensue if they enforced these laws this year. |
OP, can you afford something like Mathnasium? |
No plan to homeschool or another school is neglect. Why on earth would you do that? |
The parents work full time!!! |
But that feels fraudulent as well - and then my daughter will get zeros on all the tests. Simply so that FCPS will get the federal money to teach children that they aren't teaching. |
You need child care. |
OP is caring for the mental health of her children and her family. That's not neglect. It's the opposite. |
FCPS virtual learning is educational neglect. |
Well appreciate the teachers more. See, you cant do it. |
Right now it's hard to appreciate one teacher who is teaching from Florida, one who bragged about going skiing for the upcoming long weekend and one whose baby cries all day. |
Uh, the teachers can't either. That's the point. It's not the teachers' fault. It's the medium. It is what it is. |
I enlisted my parents to help over Zoom with social studies. Otherwise, DH and I divide and conquer. Yesterday I was working on reading with the younger one and he worked with the older kid reviewing math. Tbh, I am prepared to do school once again with my kids. We studied solfeggi a couple of days ago and DC still did not do too great (I'd fail too if I had to take the assessment). |
