[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope that MORE teachers will be hired so that in addition to online content, students will have personal check ins an hour a week or whatever.  Had to imagine with close to 30 kids in class.[/quote]

I'm required to do personal check ins with each student a minimum of twice each week. I'm no longer a teacher though because parents aren't making their kids do any work.[/quote]

Because parents are busy working themselves. Or the work seem (sorry) inane.  Online learning is a horrible model. In a pinch it’s ok, but this is the. Eat our schools have to offer our kids? No.

I suggest public schools go learn from what private schools are doing during this time and learn from them.  Full days of learning with full rigor. [/quote]
I suggest you learn to do your own work more efficiently so you can offer assistance to your child. Helping your kids with their schoolwork has been your job all along. Perhaps the reason American schoolchildren are behind their peers is the laziness of parents. They expect that their kid should learn everything at school and there should be no follow up at home. 
Public schools are not going to “go learn what private schools are doing”. I know I’m doing my job effectively so it’s frustrating to me that parents decide that they don’t feel like working with their child and then turn around and say it’s my fault. Your job as a parent is to support your child’s learning. If you don’t want to do that, you shouldn’t have kids. Everyone is busy working all day, even public school teachers! You’re free to enroll your children in one of those, though, if you think they’re doing such a great job. Parents are not somehow deserving of more of my time just because they’re busy themselves. I work the time that I’m paid to work, period. [/quote]
