[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid is doing DL at a public school. Got his report card yesterday and he has gotten glowing reviews like never before.
Above grade level in math and reading, on grade level for everything else.
At the same time, he never turns his camera on. He participates in small groups projects but not much else. He does math because I am able to see what he is doing, push him to do it the proper way, and help him when he needs it. For writing he only did a couple of assessments/essays and one of them was subpar in my opinion.
I have a feeling that teachers are just afraid to say anything less than glowing and positive because of the potential pushback from the angry and frustrated parents, and because they are motivated to show progress in kids. The admin will then make a case of DL being a success and kids reaching learning goals etc.
It just makes me sad and wanting to laugh hysterically at the same time. We will be manipulated because data is so arbitrary.[/quote]

That's fantastic, OP!
I'm so happy for you, but more so your kid... what a confidence boost for him, bravo!

Mine are in high school and it's not as easy as elementary school, but we're working on it. 
It's a LOT of work to do on his own... a lot, a lot, but we've hired online tutors and although he is struggling, we're definitely seeing progress.

I do have to say that his teachers at MCPS have been incredibly patient, understanding and well, patient again, lol.

It takes a village right? 😊

Congratulations to all who's kids had great report cards,  you should be so proud!

Thank you but I am not sure I share your enthusiasm. As confirmed by the teacher PP above the reports are inflated to a large degree. [/quote]
