[quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty sure there is limited evidence that distance learning is effective for young kids (under 10) under the best of circumstances and we are far from that. There is no way that an hour a day of instruction suffices for almost any child, even those who learn quickly or are above grade level. My kids go to Key and last year was a total mess. The teachers did whatever they wanted (as always), the principal did nothing (as always), and it was a total hit or miss by teacher. I am sure they may force all teachers to use the same platform, which is helpful, but I strongly suspect it will be more of the same which is wildly inadequate to actually help kids learn content.  I think DCPS should be thinking much more creatively and creating pods and using teachers assistants, student teachers, and others to supplement and provide small group work and tutoring. Research does suggest that small group and individual tutoring can be effective. But I have zero expectations, so we will try to supplement despite both working full time and I can only imagine equity gaps will just continue to grow. [/quote]
