[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fully agree with this policy, the one thing I will say is that it's a weird, abrupt change to make mid-stream on the same kids. It will make it look like some kids suddenly became much worse students in a way that isn't actually accurate.[/quote]

We barely figured it out for last year (6th) and now it all changed for 7th, which is an important year for HS admissions. I don’t think the policy is crazy but they already made very, very little effort to help kids with organization and the system is a morass of confusing platforms (I think I counted 16). A massive change like this w/out support is really unfair. This also connects to the insufficient home-school communication caused by the lack of a clear homework-classwork-test feedback cycle. I see NOTHING in terms of completed work …[/quote]

Have you asked for it?

I’m a teacher who uses mostly paper so that kids can study from them and take them home. [/quote]

I don’t think they’re going to do paper just for my kid. Another issue is that he has terrible EF skills and doesn’t remember paper (so that actually makes the online format potentially better in some ways). Yes we have an IEP. No it is not implemented. [/quote]
