[quote=Anonymous]My K and 3rd graders have had a great year.

Last year was disastrous for my then 2nd grader.  The virtual learning offered by APS was absolutely terrible.  (APS allowed virtual teaching to be decided school-by-school and teacher-by-teacher so don't drop in to tell me I'm wrong. What my kid received was absolutely awful.)   By contrast, her third grade teachers have been amazing.  Tons of structure to get kids back on track in a school setting.  High expectations for work quality. Lots of differentiation and optional remediation to deal with the gaps.  I'm sure they've done fewer special projects and fun activities this year to make time for the remedial work, but that's been okay with us.  My daughter was starved for learning during virtual and has thrived with so much content.  She may actually be disappointed next year when they aren't cramming two years of content into a single year.

Kindergarten seems to be going well too.  My kids is clearly learning, happy and making friends.  I hear a few inklings of behavior issues, but probably not that far outside the norm for Kindergarten.  My kid is just so so so happy to be back with kids her age.  You've never met a happier human.[/quote]
