[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:00 PP again. One reason I think parents think it’s meh is that coming from elementary where there is so much school communication, it is very different. In middle school they want your kid to be the one to contact teachers if they are going to be late turning something in, or need to make up work, etc. their job is no longer to coddle parents and the parent engagement drops off. You need to be prepared for this. Their job is focused on the students and not the parents and it’s a big change from the elementary parent community. Kids have phones and parents aren’t setting up play dates or having class wide parties. Parents feel less involved and engaged because they are and it’s necessary.[/quote]

It's not just communication and independence - it's the impression many teachers leave the kids with. During covid/hybrid learning - my child was literally begging to do her work manual/pencil and paper because she was struggling doing everything on the device.. the teacher actually refused to allow her to do her work on paper. When they were remote/hybrid, many teachers hardly showed up even for virtual teaching. Many just left the kids to watch videos in lieu of teaching, they complained about the tech difficulties, etc etc. It left a horrible impression. Luckily we got her out of WMS and she is seeing a huge difference and also learning much more and feels like her teachers actually care. [/quote]
