[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ones who you think are “taking advantage” of the distance learning format were probably crappy teachers anyway. There are always people who are unmotivated and bad at their jobs. So yeah there is no connection to the amount of in-person time our kids get and the quality of the teacher.

Also when my child is doing independent work, the teacher is usually working in small groups with other kids. Just because you don’t see the teacher on the screen doesn’t mean the teacher isn’t working! [/quote]
So one of my kids teachers JUST started small groups this week— and it’s only for math.  She said at our conference that she had no evidence for determining his reading level or if he was meeting expectations for writing.  That’s shocking!  I get she’s overwhelmed but what reading instruction has my kid been getting for the past eight weeks?
 There is such a discrepancy between schools that I don’t think you can really compare...[/quote]

PP, what grade?[/quote]
Third.  Fwiw, my two other kids (1st and 5th) have had small groups since September.  
My third grader has had one writing assignment since the beginning of school— I can compare with his older sister so I know that isn’t normal— she had five graded writing pieces by this time in the year.  He gets writing prompts but they are through seesaw, and all the kids just write 1-2 sentences.  I can see other kids responses, I know it’s not just my kid slacking off. I compare with my friends at other schools, and it’s just appalling.  There shouldn’t be such a discrepancy.  [/quote]

We may be attending the same school. Our child is also in 3rd and literally nothing has been graded. Assignments submitted seem to go into a black hole. No wonder the kids are slacking off. [/quote]
