[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think teachers can simply "cancel classes".  It's a school day.  I'd contact the principal and if you want you could go to the APS central office as well but start with the principal.[/quote]

DP - Well, they may not officially "cancel" them; but only one of my daughter's teachers has any work for her to do today.  The rest are treating it as a day to catch-up before the end of the grading period.  No different than any other asynchronous Monday.  One teacher - who repeatedly reminded her class last week that Monday is a synchronous day - forgot Monday is a synchronous day and was ten minutes late for class.  Then, he left everyone on their own and went around to each student with missing work to ask them what they were working on.  Those who didn't have anything to do, had nothing to do for the entire class period.

I agree with the OP.  They took away a synchronous day in March for teachers to prepare to return to hybrid and that's why today was to be a synchronous day.  So, essentially, the kids just got yet another day off school instead of making up a missed day of instruction.  I don't know how students are reaching the state mandated minimum hours of school this year.[/quote]

Speak for yourself. My DD had all her classes and homework. She was pissed about today because she would rather have spent the time doing homework that was assigned over break, instead of having to do it over vacation. She’s at W-L. [/quote]
