[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "the teacher doesn't have to create a chart for every student" is ridiculous. It's so easy to filter information these days. A click of the button and I can pull up each of my students data individually. [/quote]

Well then I have no idea, it was just a guess.  I really can't figure out why they think this is a good idea.  Personally I thought it was socially awkward and waste of time.  It was nice to meet the other parents but I didn't get much out of it and felt bad that the teacher spent time creating a take-home activity that we both knew DD was far beyond.  I'm happy to play along if it helps other parents, but I'm not sure it does, especially with the loss of the individual conferences.[/quote]

Can you ask the teacher or admin why this is beneficial? [/quote]

I did, and they basically told me to f*ck off-- actually they were quite rude about it.  I'm a PTA board member and it really bothered me that we could not have a civil conversation about parent-teacher conferences.  I think they have to do it to get the Flamboyan funding.  But maybe after the feedback this year they will reconsider sharing so much information.[/quote]

Yes this is a requirement to get the Flamboyan grant. The grant also supports home visits at the start of the school year.

The data shows that at schools where this is happening the weaker students parents are more engaged and support reading and homework out of school more than where the program isn’t in place. And some modest improvement in PARCC for those students as well. [/quote]

Like most things at DCPS, mostly for show![/quote]
