I agree with everything you said except distance learning. DL for my elementary school student is meh but at least there is online instruction. DL for middle schoolers is terrible.  Beyond awful.  They are self teaching busy work.  Unacceptable [/quote]

Are you sure that your middle-schooler is doing everything your middle-schooler is supposed to? I am asking because it turned out that my middle-schooler wasn't.[/quote]

Like you I found gaps in what he was supposed to be doing last week. That just confirmed that they are expecting way too much maturity from 11 to 13 year olds to teach themselves.  Maybe high schoolers can hacks it but middle schoolers are pretty much little kids and MCPS is expecting them to handle all of this busy work like adults. Middle School is meant to be a transition time between elementary and high school. Instead, MCPS pushed these kids out of the next and screamed “Fly” with no daily direction.  It is irresponsible and too much to expect from tweens and early teens. [/quote]

I don't think it makes sense to complain that MCPS is expecting middle-schoolers to do too little and also that MCPS is expecting middle-schoolers to do too much.[/quote]
