[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder to what degree Covid made more parents overprotective/obsessive about their kids. I have personally found the pivot from "Your kids are home with you 24/7, there's a pandemic and you are individually responsible for keeping your family safe from it, and you are also now supervising their entire schedule every day," to "just relax, stop hovering, let your kids figure it out, leave teachers alone." I'm not saying the shift is wrong, it's just giving me whiplash to some degree and I'm sure I sometimes come off as overprotective and helicopter-y, just as I'm also sure that during Covid I sometimes came off as insufficiently vigilant or whatever.[/quote]

There are currently FCPS parents comparing grade book update times on their thread. It's out of control[/quote]

That’s bc it is FCPS.  That isn’t representative of the majority public schools.  My middle schoolers’ teachers update their grades maybe weekly.  A couple of the teachers will be go over a month before inputting grades or do a massive dump of all the grades the night before the trimester ends.  [/quote]

FCPS has major issues. [/quote]

I think the are a handful of posters who live on DCUM and try to make everyone believe FCPS is in terrible shape.  No one I know in real life ever expresses this; they are mainly happy with the schools, as are we.  I come to this forum less and less though because the endless drumbeat of these posters.  But I guess it's better if they are on here rather than harassing teachers or whatever. [/quote]
