[quote=Anonymous]I have similar feelings and concerns.  I have elementary and middle school kids.  I know the school district had a great reputation when we moved here and started our family but I have really questioned that notion particularly during the pandemic.

My kids NEVER have homework and tell me they get time to study for their tests during class.  I'm not advocating for hours upon hours of homework but I do think that independent work at home can reinforce concepts taught at school and can provide insight for parents on what kids are working on and potentially struggling with.

Unless I reach out to a teacher I never see any tests.  What questions were asked?  What did they get wrong?  Even my kids don't see their tests.  Just the scores on their iPads.  I'd like to be able to access the test once the grading is complete.  Am I asking too much?

So much has been automated via the iPad which could be fine if there was full transparency on their final graded assignments and tests.[/quote]
