[quote=Anonymous]I cannot and will not send my child back to in-person school. It is too dangerous for everyone. However, it has become clear that in order for my child to keep up with his independent work in 4th grade, I have to spend 4 hours a day, at least, shepherding him through unnecessarily complex technology while teaching him how to do assignments, and that the teachers expect this as a given. It is insane. My life is collapsing, my relationship with my child is a mess, and the teachers take no responsibility for making sure he is learning: All of that is placed on me. And my child and I are blamed when he can’t finish the mountains of work he is given. The teachers need to see themselves as bearing some responsibility for the success of their students. It is absurd that parents have suddenly been placed in a situation that requires an impossible amount of work on their part with no recognition that this is not tenable. It is distance learning itself that needs to change. If teachers are going to work remotely, they need to at least take some responsibility for their students, and not shunt it all off on the parents.[/quote]
