[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's 2.5 months into distance learning, and my husband and I are so disappointed with the APS elementary instruction. The "live" portion of instruction amounts to roughly 12 hours/week. Mondays are teacher workdays, Tues-Fri is 9-2:20 with more than half that time spent on breaks or independent learning. Even "live teacher reading" is recorded, along with minimal grading and interaction with the teacher. We have lots of respect teachers and maybe it's just our school, but we are fed-up with the minimal effort here. Add in the 2 days of additional asynchronous learning in November for preparing for hybrid learning that was cancelled, the amount of effort put forth for our child's education right now is dismal.

I'm sorry to write this, but I feel that "some" teachers are taking advantage of this situation and a very large proportion of these teachers are also hoping to remain with DL. Teachers should be considered essential workers and the hybrid model has to become a priority for early 2021.

When the world is in the middle of a pandemic that leaves many dead or with long term issues, teachers are NOT essential employees.

People like doctors, nurses, scientists, grocery employees, food factory workers, etc. ARE essential.

Making sure people are in good health, have food, have water, and have shelter are the priorities. You know, things that help keep your fellow humans alive. [/quote]

Yeah, restaurants/bars are definitely more essential than schools opening.. [/quote]
