[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is graduating this year. We could not afford tutoring during the school closings and both parents work outside the house the entire pandemic so could not ‘homeschool’ our high schooler with learning disabilities.

We will get nothing and he is graduating without being able to string together 3 coherent written paragraphs or read a full book and on medication for depression that began during the pandemic.

He needed to be in school.

Our DD also has an IEP and was HS during COVID. Knowing there was a gap in instruction, we helped her make improvements in topics such as writing before heading off the college. We worked with her at night and on weekends. So feel free to blame teachers and FCPS but you should also shoulder some of that blame. You knew those gaps were there. [/quote]

NP, but, some things are easier to help with than others. Even setting aside the very valid constraints of time and money, some kids will willingly work with a tutor but will fight their own parents. Not all parents have the expertise to help with learning disabilities. If it were as easy to do all this as some make it sound, there would be no need for the specialized expertise and instruction from teachers and everyone could just home school their kids.

Many kids NEEDED to be in school, and yet 3 years ago today the governor decided kids in Virginia were expendable and didn't deserve to be educated. [/quote]

And parents decided they could stop parenting....so we all have our complaints. [/quote]

that is not how I remember it. I did a lot more parenting while also working full time, homeschooling my children, becoming a mental health counselor, etc...[/quote]

You didn’t homeschool your child. I know it makes you feel better to say that, but you just didn’t.[/quote]

The F I didn't.....who do you think ensured my child was completing assignments during the school say? Who answered questions about the assignments or lessons when they weren't easy to understand over a computer? Who provided support and guidance to my child that they could in fact complete an assignment? Who came up with extra work to do when the school refused to provide the advanced academics the teacher recommended my child receive because the principal felt they were already stretching staff too thin to deal with level II services for early ES?

Go on, tell me that FCPS did all that....[/quote]
