[quote=Anonymous]The DCPS drive to streamline access to platforms has been a marked improvement over last spring.  Last spring, my K and 2nd grade kids needed all-day guidance just to figure out what they were supposed to be doing on a given day, and how to access each lesson.

I appreciate the shift toward mandatory attendance and an all-day, mostly-live schedule.  Relative to the self-scheduled approach, the mostly-live schedule creates momentum and forces a discipline that helps kids stay on track throughout the day.

It's still hard for parents to balance work and school, but once again, and I know that a lot of the best elements of my kids' school simply won't translate to distance ed, but I am again impressed by DCPS' adaption to circumstances and responsiveness to parent concerns.

What remains to be seen: How will the new, software-based programs like Zearn for math compare to predecessor curriculum Eureka math?  Will teachers provide the same level of paper correction and specific feedback that they were able to provide without the added barrier of uploading and downloading written work?  The latter was one of my only complaints about the spring session.   [/quote]
