[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My charter K has math every day but they have been working on shapes and counting to ten for three weeks.  It's frustrating for my kid.[/quote]

It’s not just about your kid. [/quote]

I'm pretty sure I didn't say it was.  I was answering a question and commenting on our experience.  And 90 minutes of screen time 4 times a week plus daily assignments and an asynchronous lesson for three weeks has been a lot of repetition without variety.  I imagine this would not be the same in person.

I understand curriculum and I understand the limits of distance learning.  But but I do think I'm allowed to have opinions about it.[/quote]

“It’s frustrating for my kid.” There are other kids in your snowflakes class kids who may find this level of math just right. [/quote]

It is frustrating for my kid and has unfortunately become a behavioral issue for us.  That is a statement of fact about our experience of math DL for K, which is the topic of this thread.  I'm sure it isn't a universal experience, so that's why I didn't characterize it as such.

My kids in Prek4 was asked to count or clap to 4 last week. He chose to run away from the screen, because he was counting up to 100 last year. It's frustrating to see as a parent, and i'm also not expecting teachers to teach math 20 different ways to different students. I'm not sure what the solution is though, and i'm hoping they can differentiate in person more than they can in DL. [/quote]
