[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what parents of kids this age said ALL LAST YEAR WHEN THEY WERE NOT IN SCHOOL.

Yes, I am yelling because I find this so unbelievably infuriating.  And now it's wow...can you believe it.  Yes.  This is the most predictable outcome ever.  No one gave a crap about these kids.

I am genuinely sympathetic to teachers who are now dealing with this shit show.  And also, the deafening silence last year (at least in my school district) from any teachers about what this would surely do to kids this age was sad.  No one speaking at the School Board meetings.  No letters to the Editor.  No posts on social media.  No petitions. No leaked emails to the principal about how this was going to really be a problem for this particular age group.  No "teacher association" (aka union) statements.  Dead. Silence.[/quote]

Yup. This years 2nd graders had about 6 months of Kindergarten before covid hit.  Six months.  And fcps virtual learning was garbage - I am not saying teachers didn't try hard, and I am not saying it was not hard on them, but it was a joke for this age group. We worked with our kid to complete every assignment, took photographs of every bit of work requested and submitted it. Zero feedback the entire school year.  No "work on x" no "good job on y".  Nothing.  2nd grade is showing we reap what we sowed.[/quote]
