[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are never going back full time. There will always be a variant or some excuse. With Wednesdays off and intermittent naps, would you go back and wrangle 25 kindergartners? I didn’t think so. [/quote]

Sounds like you are going through a divorce. You should do something about your rage.[/quote]

You are odd. [/quote]

She was just desperate to find something personally insulting to say to the PP and couldn't think of anything less of a non sequitur.[/quote]

Saying teachers are taking naps during work hours seems desperate too. My DS is currently busy in his small reading group. And my DD is enjoying IPL. [/quote]

That's awesome for your kids, but they are an exception.[/quote]

I'm seeing that, but isn't that because most of you go to non-title 1 schools? One child go to an NE school and I've found when I've made a helpful suggestion to the teacher they've listened or sent out a survey to all the families in the class to gauge what everyone else needs too. The other a NW school....and well...let's say I've had to make A LOT of complaints to admin. The teacher was always missing my child's sessions or cancelling over and over.

I'm starting to see a pattern in this thread where teachers in NW schools are horrible online, makes me wonder if in person was really all that great. Or it just seems that way because we donate so much for them to have more resources.[/quote]

I am not saying it is a problem of the teachers doing a poor job. Ours (upper NW school) is doing fine. But it is still much harder for the kids to follow while staring at a screen, and school is about so much more than transmitting content. Kids should be learning with their peers in a classroom. DL is just an inherently poor substitute for real school. This is the expert consensus by now, and I shouldn't have to spell it out for anyone anymore.[/quote]

No, you shouldn't have to spell it out.  I feel like my kids, in 3rd and 5th grades, learn more during two days in hybrid, and finds more happiness/inspiration, than all week via DL.   I wouldn't have had my head around the poor substitute issue in March, or even in Sept.  By February, the limitations of DL for the age group are writ large for all of us in this house.[/quote]
