        My 6th grader started a new exploratory section right after winter break, and so far the teacher has missed three or four of the seven class sessions. Not continuous days either or announced in advance, she’ll just randomly send them a message at 10 am that she won’t be there for afternoon class and there’s an asynchronous assignment posted. My kid said yesterday that they don’t get the point of taking the class if the teacher never shows up, and that they can’t even tell what the class is supposed to be about since there’s no connection one class to the next.

I told them it’s the most useless of the exploratory classes anyway so as long as they pass, I don’t care if it’s by a single tenth of a point.

[b]Please let their grade level admin know. I'm an AP in APS and these stories are making me sick. They only way we can help is if you make us aware.[/b]

Yes, people should tell you but you should also be popping into classes now and then to see what’s going on. [/quote]

It's also possible that parents and students are exaggerating. You shouldn't be so quick to believe anonymous postings on DCUM, AP. Note how the person with the ski slope story never came back with any details. Probably BS.[/quote]

I’m really curious about the ski slope story myself... I am an APS teacher. I can’t imagine trying to teach in a car or anything else. It’s quite a set up that I need to do this right. Right now, it’s the last week of the quarter and my own kid is like a feral child who must fend for himself.  We are required to record all classes. If any of this crazy stuff is happening, just give that person‘s administrator the day and the date of the class, and have them pull the recording.  [/quote]

I'm pretty sure she taught until 11:30 and then assigned asynchronous the rest of the day (can't find the post now). I believe some of my child's lessons are recorded, but not all. Sometimes they have to turn off their cameras when recording. [/quote]
