FCPS Teachers - would you be ok with kids skipping morning meeting/afternoon wrap up?

[Anonymous]

The question says it all.

Not a teacher, but our school is having morning meeting even on Mondays and said attendance would be taken even on Mondays, so there could be some implications of skipping.

As a teacher, one of my biggest question is how they will handle "absences" this fall. In the spring, I spent many hours a week trying to stay in touch with parents who had no intention of ever logging in. I won't have time to harass parents with the fall schedule. Admin needs to do that.

And it says a lot about you, OP.

What does it say about me?

My dc is logging in for math instruction and maybe language arts if it is well done. That’s it. I don’t really care what the teacher thinks.

I know they’ve said attendance is mandatory, but I don’t see how they can enforce this. For ES, these kids are going to be on their own a lot more than normal, trying to log in while parents are teleworking, or with a babysitter, or home alone, or at some camp. What if the internet doesn’t work or they simply forget, or what if they get kicked from a session (this happened a couple times randomly to my 5th grader last year) or any number of issues?

It’s not up to us. Whatever the consequences will or won’t be from not showing for distance learning are set at much higher levels than us.

I assume you have a young child.

Nobody cares.

I asked my DW and she said, “I don’t care. I’ll just have to mark them absent. That’s the time they can build relationships though.” It was just a matter of fact statement.

I don’t know if I’d be ok with it. Part of me thinks if I am taking the time to do Morning Meeting it would be nice for everyone to attend. DL isn’t something I want to do, but I’ll make the best of it. The other part of me is just settled on doing whatever I am told I have to do and letting administration handle the rest.

Ok but after 15 absences, your child will be unenrolled from school.

+ 1. What part of attendance and grades do you not understand?

I would not care. I have to mark them absent. I don’t know what will happen then.

Although I guess if they showed up for any part of the day it would be tardy or maybe even present.
