[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You mean like it was when we were kids and nothing was on computers yet? People managed to navigate school for an awful long time without computers.

Somehow my brother and I got through school with ADHD, reasonably serious ADHD, with regular old planners. My brother struggled more then I did but he graduated with a B average, went to college, and graduated from college so he figured it out.

Get your kid a planner. Go on the various sites and write down the assignments that you can find.[b] Go to Teacher and confirm that what is in the planner is what is due.[/b] [/quote]

Have you ever tried to reach a MS or HS teacher in FCPS? Pretty sure there is some unwritten rule that says once a kid passes 6th grade teachers no longer need to respond to a student or parent email. In MS and up it's all about self advocacy and they want the kid to do the talking but I'm convinced much of that is because it's easier to ignore a kid, they give up. MS and HS teachers barely grade on time. They surely are not responsive to planner/assignment checks. [/quote]

Some of you are just making sh-- up now. My DD has done office hours, emailed teachers, stayed after school to ask questions with absolutely no problem. Through MS, through COVID, through HS. I get that some individual teachers may be more difficult. But, this sweeping generalization is pure BS.[/quote]

Nice anecdotal evidence. Now imagine that there are more students in FCPS than those in your school. [/quote]

Ever thought that you are the one with a nice anecdote and that there are other students in FCPS that are doing the same thing as the PP?

Some Teachers are awful, some are great most are in between.  [/quote]
