[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find these posts interesting. My child is in self contained PK and she’s not even 3 yet (late sept) but her teacher is so great.

My child is able to do 1 hour live a day so far because her lessons are really fun and engaging, sometimes it seems like my child is literally playing a customized game.

The teacher is also great at reading when kids are getting antsy and plays some funny kids song that helps the kids.

Is it always perfect, of course not but it’s more than I could have ever hoped for. And I still pray we have in person soon because if she’s this good online I know she’s even better in the classroom.

I’ve learned so much already just by watching her and getting coached by her. She also sent home these cool home materials she calls ‘task boxes’ my kids all want to do them not just my littlest one.

Just ask the teacher for what you need if your kids absolutely won’t sit, do not stress yourself out. [/quote]
As a self contained mom & send contained teacher I can tell you the reason it’s working is that you have realistic expectations. You likely also have a great teacher. Expectations are what is killing DL. [/quote]

Please. Sends home customized boxes? Custom game-like class? This is not what the rest of us are getting outside “self contained”. Special ed probably far fewer students and much more leeway. Also sped teacher probably used to having to go way over and above to engage kids. This isn’t a matter of realistic expectation.[/quote]

The general education PK teachers sent home customized boxes too, almost took home another families box. I guess your school just sucks. 
Also all PK teachers have a para, they could easily get them to make all the home materials. I love that you viewed this as something only typical of SN classes but it’s not. Your small groups should be customized, no?

I think it’s realistic to expect even PK kids to attend at least 30 min live each day and the teacher should be walking parents through home schooling. If you think your child just needs to ‘play’ then ok. This is why the US is so behind, our flawed belief that early childhood education isn’t important. [/quote]
