[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're taking an opportunity and leaving.  We stuck with DCPS through upper elementary and planned to stay but just can't do it any longer.

We're not just concerned about schools being fully open 5 days a week in the fall but all of the other problems returning to school will bring - discipline issues after 1 1/2 years at home, focus on rememdial work for those behind (understandable) without doing anything for those who are ahead and bored (unacceptable) and too much time spent on social emotional nonsense rather than instruction.

We'll miss the school community, but we have to do what's best for our kids.  We feel pretty fortunate to have options.[/quote]

+100. I hear you on remedial education and more time-wasting social emotional nonsense down the track.

We're OK with math DL instruction, much of that was on-line even before Covid (IXL, Zearn etc.).  But we've seen little progress or enthusiasm otherwise for a kid who used to love school, scored 5s on PARCC.[/quote]

This is us.  I ask kids teacher weekly to provide more challenging assisgnments.  Its double edged sword though, we got lucky to get an IPL spot but 95% of class are kids with IEPs, major acamedic issues or other social challenges, since they were prioritized for IPL.  but that achievement gap has definitely gotten wider and heck of a lot more obvious to me.
