[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a charter teacher and half days are common the charter world. We need them in order to do all the many things necessary in order to have consistently high-quality instruction. We wouldn’t have time otherwise without having an entire day off every month.[/quote]

Get back to me about “high quality instruction” when you are actually teaching all kids in school 5 days/week. [/quote]

Oh so you mean right now?[/quote]

right now would be good. [/quote]

NP but allow me to digress for a second and talk about the lunacy of non - teachers defining high quality instruction. On this thread alone, there are several posts where teachers are called entitled, but I can’t think of too many fields where non experts think they are qualified to judge and assess the quality of somebody’s work. [/quote]

What a pointless digression. Kids are STILL stuck online - everyone knows that is low quality instruction. We don’t need to be experts. [/quote]

From a WaPo article about low demand in charters.

“Do we want to be inconsistent in the instruction quality or do we want to develop a really high-quality virtual instruction?” Hodge said. “Many schools made the decision to develop high-quality virtual learning this year and focus on reopening next year.”
