Did your school seek parent feedback on possible distance learning schedules?

[Anonymous]

I'm growing increasingly irritated that our school didn't seek any type of feedback from parents.

Did this happen elsewhere? What form did it take?

Sure would have been nice to send three feasible schedules to parents and have allowed them to vote for the one that would have best served their child and family during this challenging time.

Because your child is the only student in the school and everything revolves around him/her?

and at the above, bolded.

OP, what’s the main thing you would change about your schedule?

Yes, our EOTP elementary school seeks feedback weekly.

Yes, our teacher changed the time of one of the sessions after polling the parents.

Were you the type of parent that complained to everyone with a pulse all summer about the schedule and then just shoved your kids off on a babysitter anyway?

There's no way there would have been consensus among parents. Some work out of the house, some don't. Some have siblings in different grades, some don't.

If you don't like the schedule, just do the asynchronous work or whatever it is you need to do to provide attendance.

You seem to not understand how surveys work.

Not OP, but if I'd been asked, I'd have voted for avoiding long unstructured gaps between classes (like 2+ hours) which are hard on students and families.

I had thought DCPS made the schedules. I didn't realize it was up to the individual schools.

A survey doesn't give you the preferred outcome you seem to think you're entitled to.

Are you for real? No one is talking about being entitled to anything except input.

I am for the gaps throughout the day. After about 50 minutes on zoom kids are zonked out.

Are you a crappy principal who made a crappy schedule who doesn't like being called out on it?

Yes, but then they completely ignored what people said.
