[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are having a great experience.  Elementary kid is being taught by a live teacher and barely uses her iPad all day (it comes back with 90+% charge each school day).  6th grader is having a great experience too.  One class is taught virtually, but that’s because it’s taught by an elderly retired teacher who’s a long-term sub while the regular teacher is on parental leave.  I’d rather have one virtual long-term sub than a random rotation of in-person subs.[/quote]

This is really nice to hear.  You seem to be the exception, but I am happy for your kids.[/quote]

I think we are hearing disproportionately from the people who will whine no matter what.  APS approved very few requests to teach virtually, so there simply is no way that the experiences reported here are representative of all of APS.  But you can tell from the posts across threads that there are a handful of people complaining about the same talking points over and over again.[/quote]
My kids are doing really well as well -- they have in person teachers, who are handling even the concurrent aspects really well.  My kid in 1st grade really enjoys her day.  They are mostly doing things off the ipad as far as I can tell, and their ipads come up at nearly 100% charged at the end of the day.  
I think Glebe is having issues since they had departmentalization of core classes -- I'm not sure that they should have kept that policy this year though from what I heard it worked really well during distance learning.  [/quote]
