[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s waiting out the pandemic and my kid’s education is suffering. [b]And their complete lack of instructional focus — which was the case before, during and I’m sure after the pandemic — will mean our kids are behind the rest of their APS education. [/b]

We are working on alternatives — mainly moving to a cheaper area so we can spend less on a house and more on education.

But parents need to pay attention. [b]They have no plan to address learning loss or wider disparities in knowledge when kids return.[/b] [/quote]

OK bye. Hopefully your new area won't mind that you are disconnected from reality.

Okay. So point me to this plan?  My ES kids have teachers who have all told me it is nearly impossible for them to assess writing ability and reading in this virtual environment without dedicated one on one time — which they don’t have. What are their plans to make these assessments?  What plan do they have to make up for curriculum that they won’t get to this year?[/quote]

Just as they did at the beginning of this year, they will shift the curriculum next year to cover any topics that were missed or need to be covered again.

Of course, they will address learning loss. Just as every single school in the US will.

No. Many districts won't have to. There are parts of the country where public schools are open 5 days a week for in-person school. Those schools will not have to deal with a year of lost learning. That's the point. I honestly can't believe that Northern Virginia of all places is letting our kids suffer like this, when my red state home state is managing to have kids educated five days a week and hasn't seen rampant COVID cases.[/quote]
