[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right but if a lawyer advises his client to do X and then the client does Y, that's on the client. Teachers get blamed for the awful (or lack of) parenting that is not under their control. They are blamed for their student's poor performance when the student misses a ton of school due to absences which is also not under their control.

My own kids did distance learning for a year. The outcomes are entirely dependent on what students and parents put into it. Yes, I worked FT last year while my kids did DL. Honestly, just a tiny bit of effort went a long way last year. My kids could've handed in even a 1/4 of the work and gotten As. It wasn't difficult because the expectations were very low.[/quote]

Cool, my kid showed up and worked for every class.  She found that school was very difficult to follow remotely compared to in-person.  It's not just about the grade because so much of school builds on one another.  if you don't understand Algebra I, you are not going to understand Algebra II, even if the grading standards are lax.  So an A in Algebra I  (based on doing 25% of the work) is going to spell trouble in Algebra II.  I know you all think it's cool to blame the kids and parents, but really remote schooling does not work for many many subjects and for many people.[/quote]

My kids did all of their work. Why wouldn't they? Because of where they were sitting? If kids didn't do their work at home, that's on the parents. [/quote]
