[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He did a full 5 hours a day of online classes all spring?   What school district was this?[/quote]

Private Catholic school. Not in DC. [/quote]

Also, why are you reading the MD Public Schools thread if your child is in a private catholic school not in the DC area?[/quote]

I didn’t realize I wasn’t supposed to read what on pertains to my situation. The OP mentioned that 5 hours of online instruction seems like too much. Frankly, I personally detest group and partner work. Many others do too. I don’t object to class discussions but I want to do my work myself. My son’s school used Zoom and they did have small group discussions in some of his classes (English and FL). But what’s wrong with doing what you would normally do in school but online? The school ad a one hour school lunch break and I’d usually take a walk with my son then. He liked school in the spring because it was pretty close to school in person. He got social interaction online at night while playing games and talking to his friends. This is just my perspective of what five hours of online instruction was like. It wasn’t bad and it was actually nice to have the same routine. He didn’t miss any instruction and grading was the same. The only difference was that final exams were optional. That was awesome [/quote]
