[quote=Anonymous]I don't need a tutor because I am teaching my Kindergartener myself (as she gets nothing out of DL) and she is on track academically but that begs the question - why do we then need the K teacher and why should I support her getting her salary and keeping her job during this year when I am doing the entirety of her job and will continue to do so while DL continues? I would perhaps feel differently if my child was unique in getting nothing out of DL but I've talked with a number of parents in DD's grade and they all feel the same - the teacher may be trying hard but the results are nonexistent due to the fact that most 5 year olds are not developmentally suited to distance learning.

I am not saying DL is horrible across the board - I have two other children, one in upper elementary and one in middle school. DL works for them well enough so I have no problem with it.

But why would I support DL when it provides zero value even if it's not hurting my child in particular due to my efforts to remedy the situation? Either you can do your job and get paid or you can't and you don't. And guess what? If you are a teacher for small children, SPED kids etc, more often than not, you cannot do it remotely.[/quote]
