freaking out PK3 kid is going to have a tantrum every morning logging onto Teams

It was not doable for mine. It was literally traumatizing to see her classmates on zoom. Hoping for different this year but it has nothing to do with “capability.”

The school principal stated kids last year “really did well” (when specifically referring to ECE).

I’m worried my kid is “just not ready yet!” Sigh.

You need to relax. Seriously. This isn’t going to make or break Harvard if you don’t log on. Child services won’t be coming for you. It will be fine.

Just log into Canvas once a day for attendance. Also, most teachers will be recording sessions to be viewed on demand by families.

ECE teacher. It is news to me that we will be recording anything.

Another ECE teacher here. We don’t have to record anything, this parent has the wrong info. Maybe she meant specials, that can be recorded. At least 45 min a week.

ECE is required 120 min live a week, 30 min a day. (30 min doesn’t have to be in 1 sitting)

Take your snark down a few notches, I assume the concern is over retaining lottery seats.

I think it was quite apt. Take xanax and be done with it. It’s ECE.
