[quote=Anonymous]Another DCPS parent- middle school.  First week was 'spring break' early- but parents working.  Second week started daily core classes that are between 30 min (two classes) and 1 hour.  Zoom platform with breakout groups.  Variety of communication and class platforms - Remind app for informing parents and kids of work and sign in information, Zoom process changed mid way through so that kids are admitted to Zoom.  Large classes.  Sometimes kids just check- in and go off and work on homework.  A few worksheets in math or option to move to Kahn Academy for more advanced math if worksheets to early.  Also do ALEKS and First in Math.  All of these they were already doing - except Zoom .  Afternoons have electives with assignments.  Flip grid app for foreign language assignments.  Exercise logs and variety of motivation tools for PE.  The kids know their grades can only improve  Lots of opportunities for extra credit.  Kids seem to enjoy presenting their assignments - poems done in group, etc  Hard to tell if they are learning as well as they would if it was in person.  Keeps them fairly occupied and engaged, but do see them sneaking computer games.  Fairly satisfied and am amazed they could put this together so quickly.  Disappointed it seemed to take them a long time to get laptops to kids that needed this.  Know they have set up access to families with reduced/ free meals for internet.  Don't know how well that is working.[/quote]
