This is not the case in many, many situations. There are plenty of normally A/B students now getting a D or F in one subject due to a missed assignment even though they have turned in almost everything else and go to class.

Teachers do not know how to teach on-line. If you have students participating who have a grade history that demonstrated they are more than capable of the work yet they are dropping 2-3-4 letter grades then yes you are doing something very wrong.

I do think more parents would be supportive of continuing distance learning if the teachers were doing a better job. [/quote]

And there are plenty of A/B kids who now have D/F because they don’t come to class or turn in work.  I teach HS and I did not have one student each lower than a B- who came to class consistently and turned in work.  The grading scale is quite lenient this year especially.  And I have 150 students. Yes DL is difficult but if you don’t come to class or turn in work what are teachers supposed to do?[/quote]
