[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still not sure why OP things people should send them a check. [/quote]

Probably because they are doing two full-time jobs for the price of one?

Oh wait. People keep telling me that "childcare" and "education" are totally separate and have nothing to do with each other.

Scratch that. THREE full time jobs for the price of one.[/quote]

Your kids, your responsibility. Teachers are handling the education.[/quote]

Hahahahahahahaha.

This week, in addition to my job, I also administered two different developmental assessments to my child so that her teacher could meet her administrative deadline. The files with the assessment questions arrived in my inbox locked and the teacher could not figure out how to unlock them, so I had to recreate the assessments in a separate document in order to fill them out. I also took videos of the assessment and converted them to a zip file so that the teacher could review them.

When, on three different occasions, the DL lesson links did not function, I located the lesson plan for that day and class, reviewed the materials, and went over them with my child. For the DL sessions that did actually run on time, I sat with my child (who is too young to sit through any of these lessons alone) for the full lesson, and took notes of major concepts so that I could reinforce them during other parts of the day.

I love my kid's teacher and I know that like me, she has been given an impossible set of parameters. But the idea that it is the teacher, and not me, who is providing my child with her education right now is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. That might be true for some older kids who can be self-directed. It is absolutely comical for children under the age of 6 or 7.[/quote]
