[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 hours of live instruction is BS. I would love to tell my boss that I can only work for 2 hours a day and see how that goes.[/quote]

You do realize that the 2 hours of live instruction is for YOUR child. After their 2 hours are up the teacher will then move on to work with another group.[/quote]

AND those 2 hours take prep, and at least 3 hours of your child's regular school day consists of transitions, lunch, recess, and specials. [/quote]

My friend that’s a reach. I am a teacher and unless you have poor classroom management all of those things take up about 2 ish hours.

Lunch/recess 1 hour - specials 45 min - transitions 15- MAYBE 25 min total.

If transitions take an hour in 15 of the day please get training on that, it’s super important and will definitely make life easier.

It’s actually not a reach. Every school's schedule is likely different. For example, students at my school have one hour for lunch and recess, 45 minutes for specials four days per week and two 45 minutes specials once per week. So yes, there can be days where students are out of the classroom for up to three hours. We also have nearly 800 students at my school. If multiple grades transition at the same time, the transitions take longer. It is not directly related to classroom management.

That’s not the norm, my school also implemented that extra specials for a while-some days we had 2. But that was because of the DCPS mandate for more PE. We hired another PE teacher.

I’m saying it’s a reach because that schedule will not be kept during DL. That would not prioritize student learning and I’m betting like my admin, yours knows that as well.

But thanks for the reminder, I forgot about the odd ‘2 specials a day’ phase, which meant more Leap meeting, awful... [/quote]
