My opinion is that this schedule is realistic and sounds spot on. What social interaction do you want? They have morning meetings to talk about stuff. Your kid can show up to office hours and see if other kids are there to talk to them. [b]You want them to work in groups? How is the teacher going to monitor that online when they're working with other kids?[/b]

[b]Don't even mention break out groups because no teacher will have kids just go to a different "chat room" where they have no clue what these kids are doing or what they are talking about. [/b][/quote]

That's precisely what DD's teachers did in the Spring.  When they had to work in groups, they put the kids into chat rooms (of sorts).  Then they went from one chat room to the next, checking in on the kids, to see if they needed help, and to monitor.  It worked out VERY well.  Maybe it's an age thing, that these kids are young enough to do what they're asked and not engage in inappropriate behavior.[/quote]
