As of now, my 6th grader has 4 periods, 1-hour-long each, only 4 days a week. With normal, in-person, school he would have had 8 periods daily, 5 days a week.
Wow. I just realized how much instruction has been cut back.[/quote]

Before you do that, ask yourself how much of the in-school class time is used for "instruction" as you conceive of it.[/quote]

I’m not sure what school your kids go to, but my middle schooler certainly received more than 4 hours of instruction per day precovid.  When they weren’t getting instruction they were in small groups with the teacher walking around to ensure discussion was occurring.

[b]Compare that to today where they broke into groups of three and no one in my DC’s grouped talked (One student’s mike didn’t work) so he texted with friends in other groups to work on the answers.[/b]  [/quote]

Gee, that sounds exactly like what my kid did in middle school last year when there was still school.[/quote]
