[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are a service offered to parents. Parents aren't school employees, who have to do whatever schools tell them to do. Do what seems worthwhile, skip the rest, and in general just do whatever is in the best interests of your child(ren).[/quote] Schools are a service. If you opt into that service there are certain requirements that must be met (attendance, grades, etc.). If you choose to opt out, then just unenroll your child and homeschool. Otherwise when you use the 'school service' they might make your child repeat the grade. [/quote] I don’t believe for one second that any district will have a child repeat a grade because of what they do or don’t do in the fourth quarter. Assuming the child was passing classes in early March, they’re moving on to the next grade. So far my kids have been able to get work done quickly enough that there’s still a lot of time in the day for other stuff. (Which is both good and bad since I’m supposed to be working a normal day from home...) If it gets to the point that repetitive worksheets or saccharine videos take up the whole day, then I’ll prioritize what the kids do and don’t have to do. And based on emails from both teachers, the teachers won’t care one iota. [/quote]
