[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There cannot be a real conversation about these issues as long as [b]the loudest parents claim there was no teaching[/b]. It obliterates the hard work of teachers who went above and beyond every day.

I wrote about this before. DCUM posts were so negative that  I started to feel paranoid that my parents were lying when they thanked me. Maybe they really thought I did nothing? Did that mean that they thanked me because they also thought if they didn’t I would retaliate in some way? It was really upsetting.  [/quote]

In the experience of my high school kid, for some teachers, there really was no teaching. Really. They did nothing other than post a few things on Google Classroom. Meanwhile, other teachers worked very hard. If I had to generalize, I'd say that the teachers who didn't do much at school also did little or nothing last spring, and the teachers who worked hard at school also worked hard last spring.

If you're a teacher who works hard - well, you know your colleagues. You know who works and who doesn't.[/quote]

+1.  English teacher posted 5 assignments total for Q4, three of which were sub-parts of same assignment - brainstorm/outline, first draft and final draft of paper.

French teacher did not post any assignments for Q3 from end of Feb for rest of Q3.  Kids got a Q3 grade for material done prior to end of Feb.

Other teachers posted more work - science and math and AP teachers mostly. [/quote]
