[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. Back off the teachers. They are working so hard. They didn’t create the pandemic. They are adapting like the rest of us or got a sample size of 14 APS middle school teachers I my house. Not a single issue with one of them.  [/quote]Oh, come on.  My kid's elementary teachers aren't working that hard.  They just aren't.  They teach 20-30 minutes of content a day, leaning heavily on Lexia and Dreambox and RazKids and BrainPop.  They don't offer any small groups or interact with students on Mondays.  They don't grade or comment on any work.  They don't write any individualized comments on report cards.  There is no diffentiation or small groups.  There are evaluations other than PALS.  There are no thoughtful assignments, just scanned worksheets several grade levels below what the kids should be doing.  If anything, this is a vacation.  They have vastly more prep time, but are teaching far less content with fewer hours of student contact.

If the administration is somehow sucking up their time with meetings, then they teachers should be vocal about that because it's not of any benefit to students.[/quote]

Talk to your principal. This is not true at our school.

This is also not happening my my kid’s school where they attend nor at the APS elementary school where I teach. We are standards based grading and if anything we have been given more standards to report on this year vs last year. We are forging ahead in the curriculum for better or worse. Unfortunately there are students who need more intervention and that is very hard to provide in the shortened hours/4days per week/virtual environment.[/quote]We still have traditional grading.  The only grades are "Progressing" and "Not Progressing".[/quote]
