[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it’s getting old to keep pointing to Covid, but I genuinely think this particular cohort—mostly the current 7th graders, also likely some current 6th and 8th graders—missed a key window of social development after spending a full year in virtual school (for today’s 7th graders, that meant the second half of 1st grade and almost all of 2nd). At my DC’s elementary school, the administration could not wait for that 6th grade group to move on because their collective behavior was the worst they’d seen, and that same cohort came back noticeably more challenging in 3rd grade than they had been in 1st. I don’t have a student at Carson, but at another FCPS middle school, horseplay seems to be pretty common. This isn’t to excuse the behavior, just to offer a possible explanation for why it seems to be increasing.[/quote]

Nope. Get a new excuse.

Next![/quote]

We will get a new excuse when you stop using the online materials from virtual learning. [/quote]

No one is using 99% of the Covid materials. Try again.

[/quote]

+100, those materials aren’t even available anymore.[/quote] np.  We have teachers at Longfellow that use those materials.[/quote]

Well, you should let them know that the material that was created during Covid has been removed/updated countless times and they should go and pull down the new material.[/quote]

You’re thinking about the canned lessons created by gatehouse for virtual learning. That’s not what I meant. I mean just using the computer in general for turning in work (submitting on schoology), finishing slides, creating something on canvas, creating a slideshow. Teacher rely too much on the computer now and that obviously was worse in the years after Covid. We even have elementary schools administering all math tests on the computer which is preposterous.[/quote]

You have a gross misunderstanding of &quot;lessons created during Covid&quot; if you think digital literacy and digital proficiency lessons are &quot;lessons created during Covid.&quot;

---&gt; Submitting on Schoology= learning how to submit files digitally, which is a [u]real-life skill.[/u]

---&gt; Creating something on Canva= learning media literacy, use of text features for purpose or accessibility, and functional skills on a computer, all of which are [u]real-life skills.[/u]

---&gt; Creating a slideshow= learning presentation skills, evaluating main idea, adapting to audience and purpose, use of text features, and supporting a claim, all of which are  [u]real-life skills.[/u]

The best teachers are teaching using [u]both[/u] paper and the computer, for [u]both[/u] are important to learn to use effectively. [/quote]
