[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just do it, OP. I know you’re annoyed but please respect he teachers. It’ll be like 30-60 minutes of your day. [/quote]

How is “respecting” the teachers to force the mom and child to do something difficult that had zero benefit?

I get that we ended up in this situation for understandable reasons, but that doesn’t mean we now have to pretend that online preschool is effective or developmentally appropriate, particularly for a child who doesn’t want to stare at a computer.[/quote]

Preschool is not compulsory. If you don’t want to do it this year, give up your spot. If you do, meet the basic requirements. That’s the deal. You are not entitled to a highly coveted pre-k slot. [/quote]

OP "won" a spot in a coveted charter based on nothing but luck, but is now unwilling to comply with even the most basic requirements of enrollment? Sorry, but there are thousands of parents in the city who would jump through hoops for that exact same spot if they could. I don't understand these parents who aren't even willing to try. I bet most schools will work with you if you give it a go for a month and then say "hey, the live sessions are just not working for us but we'll log in for the asynchronous stuff, ok?" But to just assume that whatever the teacher's have put together is a waste of time but also demand to keep your spot? Entitled.[/quote]

To be fair, OP does seem interested in doing the bare minimum to keep her spot, but is unclear what the bare minimum is. Hence the post.[/quote]
