[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I don't trust many parents' assessments of how their children are "thriving" in DL.[/quote]

Why not? Doe the first time have a front row seat and can see everything they are doing and how they’re reacting to it. [/quote]

Because I don't think a lot of parents are very good at impartially assessing the academic progress of their kids, and we already know a lot of parents don't assess the emotional and mental health of their children well. [/quote]

My kid's PSAT scores show he is doing well. He is always laughing and joking with his friends online. It might be different for boys. They tend to bond playing video games. That's easy to do.[/quote]

Your definition of thriving is a standardized test score and a lot of time spent on discord? I think you are proving the point that parents are not good at assessing whether their child is actually thriving. [/quote]

The test scores show college readiness and being able to socialize safely prevents isolation and depression. We are in a worldwide pandemic. We need to adjust our ways of measuring. He's doing fine. Thriving is a lame world that should describe plants and flowers, not children. [/quote]
