[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, our school was already moving ahead with content and providing recorded lessons, and our RTG was providing extra materials. Now they’re just going to stop everything? For two months, plus then it’s summer? This is not equity. This is giving up. What the hell?[/quote] Yeah this is what pisses me off. We are immersion. APS isn't sending out immersion work. Our teachers had been posting assignments (mainly online quizzes and videos) but my kid was really enjoying science (teacher had students record videos answering science questions, it was very engaging!). Is all that going away? All we get now is the generic APS packet. I downloaded the first packet they provided and it 1) require way more parental involvement than the assignments posted by my kids teacher on Canvas and 2) my kid was unfamiliar with format of most of them. Plus again this is not helping my kid with his language learning, does immersion just get ignored? My friend in Montgomery county at a VERY poor school with a majority ESL population was just able to pick up a chromebook yesterday. Why can't everyone do this? 2nd grade already is 1:1 they just can't just pick them up? APS can't find the money to give ipads to the K and first? I mean we know they already have some ipads for those kids. Why can't they ask families to volunteer to give back their school device if they have others (I am sure plenty of these kids have personal ipads already at the older levels) My kid is in 2nd for reference. [/quote] I hope our teachers understand what their kids need and just continue to ignore Central Office. They have iPads sitting at every school. Why can’t they figure out who needs them and distribute them accordingly? What a waste of money. They’re paying to rent those devices and they’re just locked up inside the buildings. [/quote]
