[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m nervous about my high school kids losing a week before APs since they are already really far behind.  Wish those teachers could email out the assignments so kids could get ahead.  It’s going to be brutal when they get back.[/quote]

I agree that MCPS teachers should send out homework at least. Seems like they have been instructed not to do any work though.[/quote]

Why aren’t more people talking about this? One DC is at W HS and the other is at private. Private school kid was given a freebie snow day on Monday, but had work Tuesday and will again today—it amounted to roughly four hours of wreading, writing, prepping for an upcoming lab, and problem sets. I get that it’s the start of the new term and many students have a new teacher even but that shouldn’t impact teachers’ ability to assign work. Not blaming the teachers as I am aware this is an mcps issue vs individual issue, but frankly it’s pathetic.

I understand the upset about childcare for those with younger kids but why aren’t families with MS/HS students more upset that there kids aren’t being asked to do anything academic? [/quote]

So you want more free labor from teachers.  [/quote]

That’s ridiculous.  Teachers are still getting paid, even with the snow day.  And sending out a few assignments is hardly a crushing work load.[/quote]
Yes, teachers got paid for the one snow day, but that is it. And their professional day for grading was taken away.  They won't get that time back.  And if you think it is that easy to send out a few assignments, then you should be able to go online and print off a couple of activities for your kid.  They are on your time now, you need to take care of them.[/quote]

I don’t understand why you say you are not being paid and your professional day for grading was taken away. I assume you had lessons planned for this week so why is it crazy to ask why teachers don’t posted some sort of assignment for HS kids this week? Like read x-y in book etc. [/quote]

My lessons planned for this week were basically get to know you type activities because I have like 25% new kids I have never seen before.  We weren’t planning on doing anything real until next week.[/quote]
