[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a rhetorical question, right?[/quote]
Not rhetorical because I can’t imagine so many high achieving parents letting their kids get bad grades and not turn in homework. Seriously, I am doing okay with 3-4 hours of work now but in the coming weeks that will not fly. I presume most of you have pretty demanding jobs. How are you able to turn off hitting all your deadlines? Because this feels like a lot of extra deadlines for me. Are you letting the teachers know it’s too much or somehow becoming apathetic about your kids’ performance? Are you worried your children will learn grades don’t matter or are you having discussions about this?

To the PP above who’s not struggling, how old are your kids and what school district are they in? [/quote]

We had two weeks of battles to get our second grader to do daily assignments. It’s covering up what’s working and not working for virtual learning for our student and the school

Tonight we told our 2nd grader the following:
Listen to your teacher’s lessons and assignments directions. Participate as much as you can in class.
Do your assignments the best you can and post them.
Ask us anytime if you need help.

After two weeks of this we will call the teacher and ask how the child is doing both in class and with the short assignments. [/quote]

I just want to add that during the teacher call if they acknowledge how little my kid is participating and how few homeworks have been turned in, we will demand a solution. Change of teacher, daycares facilitator, in person education, our tuition back, etc. It is a private school.
The teacher and school need to hear and know that they are failing some/many of their young students: failing to teach them well, failing to engage them well, failing their progress, failing their development.

But it’s a sad day in this town where the only education choices are screen time classes and assignments OR a parent quits their job to homeschool or pays an in person tutor $100/ hour. And good luck if you have more than one young kid not motivated by virtual teaching. [/quote]
