[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think they’re seeing just how disorganized some teachers are and how terribly worded some assignments are. It shouldn’t be hard to post a syllabus with all due dates and the relative weight of assignments, quizzes and tests- most college professors manage to do that just fine[/quote]

This X100.

DL can work well for an organized kid and an organized teacher. 
DL is a nightmare but achievable with a disorganized kid and organized kid IF there is a parent or special ed case worker staying constantly on the watch. 
DL is a nightmare and not workable with a disorganized kid and disorganized teacher.

I think teachers should be reviewed based on their relative failure rates of different groups. [/quote]
+1  I stated up thread about my MSer.  We have told DC to take a snapshot when they submit the assignment to prove that the assignment was completed and turned in in a timely manner.

Some teachers have been really good; others,not so much.  It's really only in this particular class that DC is struggling. It's not just DC; it's the teacher who is completely disorganized AND technologically challenged.  DC's friend who is a straight A student is also struggling with this teacher.

Normally, we are fairly hands off with schooling. We check grades every once in a while, but that's about it. Kids are responsible for their grades, but with DL, and for this one particular teacher, there has been so much angst all around.  We've had to email the teacher numerous times, and barely get a response back.   DC used to like this class. Not anymore.

Great description, PP.
We are suffering through this too. DC's disorganized and the class with the disorganized teacher is taking up 90 percent of their time with daily tears and breakdowns. The other classes are a struggle but with hard work they are going ok. I don't know what to do. Same issue with the teacher being disorganized and not having good technology skills. [/quote]
