[quote=Anonymous]Teen has hit a brick wall. Spring 2020 and fall 2020 no issue me with DL. Now it’s a battle. The kid is mentally bogged down. He has been doing is outdoor team sport and joined a 3-musician ensemble masked up with a single instructor (in a room about the size of an ES cafeteria). He goes outdoors to exercise. Occasionally meets outdoors with a friend who he trusts to maintain distancing. He’s an introvert, so he isn’t missing big group gatherings but does miss seeing teachers and other friends in person.

Making matters worse are most teachers not giving grades / feedback on homework/quizzes/tests in a timely manner. Friday one teacher finally provided grades from the first week of February. At this point it is difficult (not impossible) to take corrective steps. It’s like I have to do my kids homework every day, hope I get the answers right, and check his work because teacher feedback (in grade book) doesn’t happen until ... just before end of quarter. WTH? Only one teacher provided an interim grade.

Anyone else seeing their kids really checking out after a solid start this SY?[/quote]
