[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There cannot be a real conversation about these issues as long as the loudest parents claim there was no teaching. It obliterates the hard work of teachers who went above and beyond every day.

I wrote about this before. DCUM posts were so negative that  I started to feel paranoid that my parents were lying when they thanked me. Maybe they really thought I did nothing? Did that mean that they thanked me because they also thought if they didn’t I would retaliate in some way? It was really upsetting.  [/quote]

DO was a disaster for us in the spring, but in my view it was a central office failure and not a teaching problem. My child’s second grade teacher did the best she could given the restraints she faced; she was not allowed to teach any new content in the live zooms, so they were just quick check-ins. That was a problem, but not her fault. The real disappointment for us was in the terrible videos (Eureka and Benchmark) that they expected the kids to walk to learn new content, and that so little content was covered (3 days/week of math and 2 days/week of ELA). Again, that’s not on the teachers but in central office.

I’m hopeful it will be better come fall, and that teachers will have the autonomy they need to actually teach. [/quote]
