Go on, pat yourself on the back again with your holier-than-thou screed.  Fact is our national politicians and ed leaders are letting parents and kids down. Nobody on this thread has criticized public school teachers doing their best to educate the children.

When I was a kid I attended a Ham radio-based "school of the air" for a few months while staying with relatives in a rural area of Australia.  One of my parents is Australian.  I learned much more during those months than my kids did with DL in their DCPS program in the spring?  Why, because the school of the air was structured in a way that engaged me and pushed me academically.  For example, I had to answer a teacher's question every few minutes during air time, roughly two hours each morning.  I had to study hard and to complete assignments that were mailed in, graded and returned by mail.  Same with tests.

The way DCPS ran its DL programming in the spring was a big part of the problem.  I don't expect any different in the fall.[/quote]

They have actually invested in a program that is a recorded lesson that stops however many times a teacher wants and the kids have to answer a question (verbally, multiple choice, short answer) before they can move on in the video.  The response goes directly to the teacher. [/quote]

Oh great.  Hint: little kids need a lot of human interaction to learn much.

Hint: what starts with a c and ends with a d?

Please people, just like some teachers you have every excuse. We’ll be back in person when the government gets it together and closes everything that can be.[/quote]
