Well, I think the comments have been constructive.  For example, the comment that there needs to be a team building, rah rah component to encourage students out of bed, into jeans/T-shirt, and into the screen every morning....

,,,with some thought on the part of wonderful, committed DCPS teachers (and educational leaders) as to how to make Zoom lessons more engaging...do lesson plans need to be tweaked a bit to encourage students to tune in, ready to explore?

Also, key is communicating expectations (schedules/due dates/tests/assignments/platforms), with feedback on work.  To both students and why not, parents.

I think the message is that parents stand ready to help teachers and educational leaders bridge the gap in this difficult time.  That requires two-way communication, of course.  Because at home we see what’s working, what’s not.

If it takes more than the two weeks we’ve got left of vacation to figure this out, okay.  It’s a pandemic.

Of course, DCPS can listen to what we have to say, and evaluate.  Or not.  My 15 year old often chooses the latter option, so I’m good either way.   :)
