[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My charter surveyed families this week if they'd prefer online learning through the 29th or through the planned end of year.[/quote]

That would be nice. I don't think our school did this[/quote]

I can also understand why a school would NOT do this.  Once people give their input/opinion, they can often be really salty when it isn't followed.  [/quote]

That is a bad reason not to seek out input when input would help weigh the decision making.

We are years from DCI but I am impressed hearing this is their approach. [/quote]

but seriously: what would a school administration do if they hear back and there is no clear "winning" direction?  what if it's a 50/50 split?  what if all the UMC families want it to stop, but higher needs, lower income families need all the distance learning days a school can provide?  or vice versa? How do they juggle all of these data points and make a decision without all of the families whose perspective was not the one agreed to feeling slighted/not listened to?

In my personal and professional experience, if you ask people for their input and opinion and then don't go that way, you end up with a lot of upset people. [/quote]
