[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is also getting all As while taking 2 math classes (geometry and algebra 2) in 8th grade.  No way he could do this during a regular year with all the typical distractions.

That said, my very social kids (i have 3) are begin to struggle with the isolation.  They probably get more face time than many kids (each played a (distanced) fall sport and see kids for bike rides etc several times a week) but it's HARD.  it's just draining to be on a computer for so many hours.  they have no real relationships with their teachers or classmates.  They have their long-term friendships (thank goodness) but this is no substitute for everyday interactions with a variety of kids like school generally provides.

I am a HS math teacher and have many more As than any other year I’ve taught.  I do not think my students know the material better than previous years, the expectations are much lower in DL.  Everything can be resubmitted for full credit, no late penalty and you can use notes on any assessment.  Take these grades with a large grain of salt.[/quote]

I also am a secondary math teacher.  We're administering the same tests as last year, modified only in the case of changes of the standards being taught (our framework was modified), but the same questions worth the same value.  Our grading scale has not changed.  I am seeing an increase, smallish but an increase nonetheless, in conceptual understanding.  I also am seeing a big change in grades because of the way we are communicating assignments using Canvas.  The more organized display of assignments and my increased contact using email to send reminders about assignments is increasing assignment submissions.  And THAT is making a huge difference in grades.[/quote]

I’m administering the same tests as well.  How do you stop kids from cheating? Tests have to be open more unless your school has software to prevent cheating, but my public high school certainly can’t afford that.  Test scores are higher but it’s not due to increased knowledge.[/quote]
