[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is not SN but I am not doing the zoom or assignments. I told the teacher that as we are both working ( esential/firstresponders)  the schedule and time/effort don't make sense and I would keep DD engaged myself. I do make her read every day and do one book report a week, daily math that you can find online that is grade level. We also go for hikes/walks/bike rides, she practices her instrument every day and we do an art/craft project about twice a week ( Pinterest is my friend).

Life is so much better. They will NOT be behind, they are not really learning new work, Our elem kids will be ok.[/quote]

I don't get if there are no SN or other reasons why your child cannot do it.  Any older elementary not SN should be able to do most themselves and just younger ones need help.[/quote]

I am the PP. I will give you an example why. My kid is 7 and in 2nd grade and quite a good reader. Last weeks reading assignment thru mcps was to " listen to" not read 2 different texts. One was a story about Alexander Graham Bell and the other was a short poem about buffalo. The work assignment was to compare the two and write which one you liked best. My DD wrote " I liked the buffalo poem because I like animals"
So there was no reading actually involved and the writing was one sentence, yes she could have written more but she thought they were both lame so.......We also had to be online for zoom when one of us is at work and the other one is usually sleeping due to being shift workers/1st responders.

This week ( after opting out of the mcps reading/literacy) she read the book Malala and then wrote a one page book report with a beginning middle and end about Malala's story. We have also talked about how lucky we are to live where we do. compared to other parts of the world. So my plan is to have her keep reading every day and do one book report a week. [/quote]

I know you mean well but this is the SN board. Please dont co opt it to talk about your NT kid who is doing fine. [/quote]
