[quote=Anonymous]:35 is spot on with our kids' needs too. The socialization is critical. My older kid did fine creating online meetings with classmates and working together. My younger one did not. He was completely isolated and now has created socialization through his xbox so he really needs interaction with his peers that he couldn't get in the spring.

Also +1 on understanding deadlines/assignments. I am trusting the platforms will be better in the fall, and I would like to stay hands off as much as possible but if the continued development of personal responsibility and organizational skills is at home I guess we will need to be involved in someway.

My wish would be to somehow ensure that kids have at least one friend on their learning team which would help so much with socialization but I know that's a big reach. I wonder if MS are planning to keep ES schoolmates on the same teams for this reason.

I thought Deal's approach of 2 periods/day with no classes Friday worked pretty well from an academic perspective. And fingers crossed the issues with grading (expectations/continuity among teachers) gets ironed out for the fall.[/quote]
