[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two kids in middle school in APS. Many teachers between them. None of these issues. Sometimes they can’t find a link or have a submission issue.  They work it  out with their teacher. All of them have been responsive. I don’t get involved with Canvas and only check grades and missing assignments on ParentVue   We’ve had no major issues like I am reading about here.  Are we just lucky or are there a vocal few on here?[/quote]

You are lucky.  Having spoken with parents at several different schools in APS (ES, MS, HS) this has not been consistent.  Some parents have felt like it went pretty well or at least okay (IME, parents who have been able to dedicate A LOT of time to making it work) but the majority I have spoken to would say they have had major issues.  And perhaps unlike the average DCUM-er I am including parents who don't speak English at home, whose kids get free lunch, who can't WFH, whose kids have IEPs/504s...have yet to hear one say that this has been a decent year.[/quote]

Middles school parent. 2 kids. Both parent work full time.  Have devoted no time to making this work for my kids, other than struggling with tech in the first week. Both have As and Bs. Both have worked with teachers during office hours and async times (on their days at home and in school) to fix tech or academic issues.  Doesn’t feel that different. I acknowledge that many families have struggled.  But I am surprised how this forum seems to have no one else reporting that it was fine with minimal parent involvement.  Elementary would be a nightmare. But middle and high? I guess we are just at a great school with great teachers.  [/quote]

I have one in third grade.  Was not able to help, but I think it was ok.  I thought the teachers were amazing![/quote]
