[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is in an online mcps summer class this summer, how much work has it been? [/quote]

Health A was a fair amount of busy work but not hard.  Maybe an hour or two a day, no homework/assignments on the weekends though.  Passed with a 99.

Health B has been a nightmare, but it is because DS drew a really terrible teacher.  My kid and his friend who is in the same class had Bs after the first week.  Kids in the class complained about the grading, and the teacher told the class that meeting the rubric for the assignment would only earn a B or a C.  When asked how to earn an A, the teacher said, "I don't know, work harder." The synchronous classes are an hour and 15 minutes.  She teaches for about 30-40 minutes, and then makes everyone sit there in silence for the remainder of the time. If you leave early, you are marked absent.

This week, she hasn't been able to teach the synchronous classes on Mon & Wed and her class was combined with another teacher's class.  My kid's normal teacher had sent an email that the final is timed -- 45 minutes, if you go one second over, you fail.  The kids asked the other teacher about the timer, and she said "No, the final isn't timed, take your time and do your best.  I'll check with the other teacher though."  Few minutes later she says, "I got a note back and yes if you are in Ms. X's class, your final is timed.  My class, not timed."

This teacher sounds like they have some serious ssues. I would check with administration because if the final is timed, it's timed for all MCPS students. That's not something a teacher can decide unilaterally. [/quote]
