[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm astonished to read about schools that are actually holding student meetings and assigning work for Mondays.

My Kilmer 7th-grader is required to check in at 9:30 AM on Monday, and that's it. He has no running assignments to work on. The teachers never offer Monday meetings. It's a complete and utter joke.[/quote]

My Thoreau 8th grader has an 8:30 check in on Monday.  All of her teachers offer office hours (she's never been asked to attend them, but can certainly choose to do so) and a couple of them regularly post assignments.  In fact, the kid is taking a timed quiz right now.

I don't think my HS kid has gotten a single assignment on Mondays.  I'm actually ok with that; there's enough work given the rest of the week that DC stays plenty busy.  I'm sure I'd feel differently if that were not the case.[/quote]

There is a difference between assigned homework and actual synchronous teaching, which is what SHOULD be happening on Mondays, and is happening in many other districts that are virtual. My friends in other places, even those with only virtual school, are shocked to learn that our school week is only 4 days. [/quote]
