[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our principal confirmed last night that each child will receive 2.5 to 3.5 hours of live instruction every day. So the PP above is incorrect.  If your principal is not providing that, definitely push back.[/quote]

does that include small group time (when you child presumably will not be receiving instruction when they are not a part of the group), or is there just no small group time? If the total time for a day is 3.5 hours, and there is any break out time, your child will not receive 3.5 hours [/quote]

I think most people would be OK with less than 3.5 hours if their child’s math and language arts small group met with the teacher daily. [/quote]

I don't see any chance of that happening - there just aren't enough hours allotted [/quote]

A class of 26 students, 4 small groups? Off the top of my head-

10 min morning attendance/meeting
25 min math lesson
60 min math groups-10-15 min check for understanding, students who need more help attend office hours 
20 min ELA lesson
80 min for reading groups/book clubs 
20 minute ss/science
30 minute special
= 215 minutes plus office hours for the classroom teacher and 30 min for the specials teacher. Each student gets a small group
Math and reading group 4 x a week.
This is a bare bones schedule that doesn’t include any extras but gets the basics taught.[/quote]
