[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep seeing posts from parents about letting redshirting their Kindergarteners or letting their Kindergarteners just play during DL. And I’m not sure they realize that taking a year off a six has consequences. [/quote]

Do you have K'er who is distance learning?  If you did, you would realize that it really isn't working for a lot of kids, especially kids on the younger end of K.  We are sticking with it (at least for now) and probably won't have him do K again, but I can absolutely understand why someone would wait a year or not worry too much about what someone is doing in DL.[/quote]

Dl can work really well with an involved parent who also works with their child at home.  The issue is most parents don't want to put in the effort.[/quote]

Nah, the issue is that most parents have to work and produce results or risk being fired in a shit economy. It is not that most parents don't want to be involved or "put in the effort," as you claim... it is just that they cannot put in the amount of effort or be as involved as required for a K student success.

I have mentioned it before here - I have to sit by my K for 95% of her class to help her, direct her, and work with her. Plus I work one on one after class... but I am a SAHM; HOW can a working parent do this? It is impossible.[/quote]
