[quote=Anonymous]We told our child in third grade that this was not ideal but it was what it was and we expected him to do his best. He logged in, turned on his camera, and participated as his Teacher expected. He did his work and figured out how to make the google slides even easier (find three cylinders was answered with marker, marker, and marker because he had a box of markers on his desk). He has done fine. He has learned this year but not as much as we would have liked. We supplemented with AoPS for math and bought him whatever books he wanted to read. He discovered audio books and listens to those when he is going to bed. He has been thrilled to return to school in person and strongly prefers those days to the days on the computer.

We are also blessed to have a kid who loves to read and do math and is naturally curious. I am not surprised to hear that some of my friends kids struggled and that DL was a disaster for them because I know the kids and I know that the parents were struggling with work and helping their kids. Most of my friends who struggled with DL report that their kids are making up ground now that they are in person, most for 4 days because they are in FCPS.

I understand why schools were closed. I think hybrid should have been an option from day 1 but that is based on knowledge that we have now and not the knowledge we had when all this started. We were also in a better position to support our son then other parents were. [/quote]
