[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who think that the school would have been able to solicit input from parents - the mayor did not make a decision on Distance Learning until July 30th, and schools were not permitted to make plans for a distance learning schedule until then.  The district then provided schools with guidelines on August 10th, which pretty much mandated everything that needed to happen.  They demanded a finalized schedule by the end of the week.[/quote]

Had school leadership had ongoing feedback loop with parents, then they would have known AT THAT TIME -- ON JULY 30th,

1) How disruptive it is for families to have young children (talking about the under second grade set) on completely different schedules
2) How disruptive it is to have classes that start at times like 11:10, 10:40, 1:05 
3) How difficult it would be for a kindergartner to have to sign online 6 different times per day
4) How challenging it is for families when a kindergartner has one 20 minute check in during a 2.5 hour block of time.

STOP SHIRKING YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.  You didn't have 5 days.  You had 5 months.

In the private sector, we'd be fired for being so out of touch with our constituents. [/quote]
