[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they're terrified because they see that the well-behaved kids are all planning to stay DL and all the troublemakers will be returning to class.[/quote]

In my son’s K class they just said goodbye to the kids who are switching to a new class to stay virtual. The entire lowest group (4 kids) - the ones who still can’t count to 50 and don’t know all their letters - are staying virtual. The remaining class will actually be easier to manage now. Unfortunate but true.[/quote]

I say this as both teacher and mom, it is really write that you know who the lowest 4 in your kids’ class are. I’m just stunned any of you know this much about all your kid’s peers. [/quote]

Agreed! [/quote]

I wouldn’t normally, but my kid has been going to Kindergarten on an iPad while I sit in the same room trying to work since September. It’s hard not to notice who needs the most help and who is being grouped together. If they had been in school I would have no idea. I look forward to not overhearing 1st grade and beyond.[/quote]

Your kid didn’t wear headphones? You were working” while also paying close enough attention to know which 4 kids can’t count to 50? Come on. [/quote]

News flash- most kindergarteners are not capable of sitting in front of a screen on their own and following along with distance learning/navigating between different portals without substantial parental support so yes, if you can’t afford a full time tutor/nanny and  don’t want your kid to be one of those bottom four you pretty much do need to be constantly monitoring. This is why distance learning for the early elementary students is a joke. The posters criticizing op clearly have older children and just don’t get it.[/quote]

No I’m the teacher mom Pp and my first grade kid did DL til they went back. She needed occasional help but my job meant I didn’t get to sit in and listen and take notes to the point I could tell you who were the “lowest 4” in her class. [/quote]

You can think I’m crazy if you want, but I think you’re uncomfortable realizing how many adults have been listening to you do your job online. The point is that it’s not the kids with good impulse control who are doing well in DL that are staying home based on my observations, which was the premise of the OP of this chain. [/quote]
