[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My PK3er is virtual  but live with her teacher or a special's teacher from 8:50-11:30. Everyday. It's the perfect amount of time and she loves it.[/quote]

Do you mind if I ask if you work?[/quote]

DP, but even if the answer is yes, this is an outlier.

Also, my PK kid is a mess but that is partly because the PK program at our school has been a mess. We had a teacher quit a month in. Before she quit, we only had maybe a week and a half of live sessions, and there were almost no kids on them because the district still hadn't distributed devices (we are "lucky" in that my kid can use my work laptop for school, since I certainly am not going to be doing any work while she's doing DL anyway). But then that teacher quit and now we are in another class. It's not even clear to me if we joined another class that had already started or if this was a new class that was formed from multiple others -- it's never really been made clear and it's hard to find a chance to ask. Now there are more than 10 kids in the class, and it's chaos. They are finally adding in small groups and other sessions (in September with the other class it was just morning meeting sometimes), but at this point our kid is so checked out it doesn't matter. She dreads doing the sessions and lives for Wednesdays because we don't have class.

I'm so angry at both our school and DCPS for doing this. We have tried so hard to make DL work for our PKer, I've even scaled back at work to make time, but what am I supposed to do when they can't even keep the teacher or the schedule consistent from week to week? And the thing about kids not having devices or hotspots was unconscionable. The fact that a lot of kids in our school didn't get devices until late September is embarrassing.

Anyway, it's awful. Congrats to people like the PP who are having a great experience -- must be nice to be at a school with a functional administration and enough resources to be able to offer a functional DL program. For the 30% of students in the city it works for, I'm sure it's been great.[/quote]

Jesus. What school is this!!!? I would be livid. I'm so sorry.[/quote]
