[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can tell some of the other kids in my child's class are in pods. I can tell because they clearly have other kids in the room with them. I do not see these kids having any advantage whatsoever over the non-pod kids. To the contrary, the pod kids often have more technical issues because of feedback and headphones, and they sometimes distract each other.

I think a tutor outside of the classroom sounds great, and so does socialization outside the classroom. But I'm not convinced that being in a pod benefits the kids during DL. I think the pods are ultimately all about the parents' careers. [/quote]

We are both working full-time and have given up trying to keep our younger elementary student on schedule with DL. She's "in class" for 20 mins, then break for 30 mins, then in a special for 20 mins then asynchronous activity for 30 mins..repeat. This is a typical daily schedule with an hour for lunch and recess. We don't have the bandwidth to manage this. And Duran clearly is not putting students first so we've decided to choke up the extra cost for a pod/tutor since all private schools have a waitlist.
