[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] For those of us with K-3 students, the biggest issue with remote learning wasn't a lack of socialization but a lack of learning. Kids that age just aren't independent learners and cannot learn to read or write via iPad. No additional communication from APS would fix that. [/quote] I think it needed to be communicated to parents -- whether they would received this message is another matter -- that the priority for early elementary kids is not acquisition of testable academic skills, but building a social/emotional foundation that will allow kids to acquire academic knowledge when they need to. No, iPads aren't the way to do that. But parents didn't want to/couldn't provide the hands on sort of stuff that kids need, and they weren't willing to agree to an alternative plan of stories and chores and projects. I know the ATS parents will be after me with pitchforks now. I don't care. [/quote]
