[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This makes me feel better.  It could just be that this year is a shitshow teaching wise.  DS was home with a minor cold this week, and logged in by zoom (which 6 kids do every day - they opted out of going in person).  So i got to hear how class is operating for the first time.  The teacher was running things like a machine, but there wasn't much warm and fuzzy, or room for error - because she was sitting at a computer the whole time teaching almost college style - in order to teach both the in person and at home kids. And realisitcally was having to do/say everything twice (one set of insturctions for at home kids, and one set for in person).  I was surprised at how "go go go" the pace was, for some pretty major learning milestones.  Even language arts and other stuff was so "go go go" that they weren't stopping to talk about what they were learning - just "okay, cut this out, glue it here, now larlo and larla, you guys read lines 3 and 4, now onto the next activity".  It was pretty crazy and hard to imagine taking anything away from a lesson.

So maybe there'll be more room for really understanding and grasping the concepts in a future year..... And maybe i'm just projecting my own confusion over new math onto the situation.  [/quote]

It was terrible for my kid. I think the earlier posters out outliers.[/quote]
