[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The principal sent out a video link today with an apology.

I have a small issue with them making a big deal with the grade based awards when kids with learning disabilities and other issues were completely failed by distance learning.   Middle school was an especially tough time for younger kids juggling 7 classes remotely.   Tough call since they did need to recognize the kids that succeeded.     Wonder what other schools did.

I have twins. One has never struggled in school and has always had straight As. The other has disabilities, a 504, and struggles even with in-person learning. Distance learning was a disaster for that child. I feel like you can’t just ignore the kids who kept showing up to virtual classes and completed every assignment on time, despite challenging times when school didn’t seem “real.” They deserve credit for not checking out. I understand that some kids had far fewer and smaller challenges than others, but a promotion ceremony is a celebration of an academic milestone, so I think it was appropriate.[/quote]
