[quote=Anonymous]I know that teachers had to pivot quickly in March to try and provide distance learning and I genuinely commend them for their efforts and I am grateful. Most parents I know (including myself) tried to just roll with it and were forgiving for the most part when it became clear the experience was lackluster at best. For instance, my 3rd grader had ONE morning meeting each Tuesday that lasted maybe 20 minutes. And then on Thursday she had a 15-minute 2-on-1 with the teacher. That was it! And this is a teacher who I would consider to be top notch in the regular classroom setting. Honestly, she's a solid, experienced teacher that I would recommend any day of the year. But the lack of real interaction between her and the class between March 13 and May 31 was simply inadequate and I'm shocked she thought for a minute it was adequate.

But now, I'm done rolling with it. If we end up 100% DL I plan to be very vocal and I hope other parents will be too. I want to see the curriculum, I want to see the weekly lesson plans, I want some guides on how to support my kid at home since a lot of it will be on me, but most importantly, I want my kid to have a visual (zoom, teams, etc.) lesson and/or discussion every school day. Every day.

I would love for there to be in-person school because my kids really need it emotionally and socially. But if it's not going to happen then the distance learning has to be excellent. I know there are companies that their whole book of business is distance learning. Is DCPS consulting with them? Who is building this? When will be get DETAILS? I don't want there to be a big reveal later this week without solid information. Don't just tell me 100% DL or 2-day in-person hybrid with details TBD.

Can anyone in the know offer any encouraging insight about how DL will be good this time?  [/quote]
