[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “self-advocate” stuff drives me bananas.   Yes, of course we want to teach our children to do this but some teachers are frankly more receptive to this than others.  It has been extremely frustrating to watch my child attempt in good faith to follow up with certain teachers to get feedback on why points were deducted (when it seemed to be an error) or when he could re-take a test, only to be given the runaround.  The power dynamic between an adult teacher and a 12-year-old child is not exactly fair.   MS grades are of some significance if a kid is hoping to apply for private school or walls.  So yes, I keep on too of my kid’s grades and if there are scores that don’t add up, and I know he has already attempted to ask the teacher without success, I will reach out myself.  [/quote]

My son took a make up test and some on paper assignments and was never given credit for it. Then the teacher left the school. I emailed them and they said they no longer had access to classroom papers so they were just going to “excuse” the assignments. But that’s bullshit because not getting credit for work you’ve done is about the worst way to motivate a 12 y/o. 
Same thing in my other child’s class, teacher keeps saying “oh yeah I’ll
Update that” and they don’t. Like, isn’t there a deadline and a grade to submit at this point? [b]I hate canvas and Aspen and the app based education our kids are receiving. It’s barely an education. [/b][/quote]
 
DCPS teacher here who also hates Aspen and Canvas. Please know that some of us are working hard to ensure your kids get a strong education with real experiences and work that is meaningful and given feedback. We see the “appification” too and also say hell no!!!
yep. We moved out kids to a top private in 7th and 9th an it's night-and-day.  I estimate they are learning 200% more.  
We are huge supporters of public school and are living a pauper's life to be able to afford tuition but my kids' brains were atrophying in DCPS.  I couldn't sit by anymore.[/quote][/quote]
