[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burgundy’s mandatory GRADED online specials is the stupidest thing they have Come up with yet. Will they kick us out if my kid just skips art, drama and PE? What a joke![/quote]

It’s their attempt to make DL “robust.” It just makes our kids suffer more. [/quote]

+100 I don’t know of any other school REQUIRING and GRADING online PE, Art, drama, etc. Does Burgundy understand that the kids do not need hours of non-academic classes? Please give us the academic core classes daily, but stop requiring and grading additional hours online in front of a screen. We can handle the art and PE at home for our middle school kid. This approach is the complete opposite of progressive education model. [/quote]

I disagree. Asynchronous specials in the spring were a disaster. I spent all day except maybe 2 hours trying to occupy my kids while working by finding stuff for them to do at home. Synchronous specials are preferable I guess for that reason. But now our kids will be on Zoom all day. Disastrous. This is why distance learning is not an acceptable alternative for k-8![/quote]

Offer synchronous specials but do not REQUIRE or GRADE participation. [/quote]

I am pretty sure you can’t record synchronous classes if any children are visible (zoom, etc.). It is a liability issue.
+1. That's the answer. Don't make it required, but offer synchronous and record so parents who are too busy to manage to log in at 1:37pm can catch up with their kid later. [/quote][/quote]
