[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More sleep for DC. Our public school is also super organized, with a good virtual board that shows what's due every day for the next 2 weeks. All the teachers make summary notes with what they thought in the class that day, so it's easy to review with the child. Every teacher stays online from 2:30 to 3:30 after school for questions, extra help, tutoring etc. My child struggles with organization IRL so he loves this setup. He wants to stay virtual.

What grade is this?[/quote]

7th.[/quote]

I'm also adding that he's doing sports outdoors year around and we let him play outdoors with other kids. My other one is in elementary school and he's doing private, in person; virtual would not work for him at his age. It's very much dependent on age. [/quote]

You did not give dL a chance so how can you say it’s not working when you child is not doing it.  My middle schooler is happy with it and does not want to go back until Covid is under control as they understand the spread.  You are raising a selfish inflexible child. [/quote]

I'm pretty sure this same troll, who posts over and over, cannot read, or at least cannot read English.

PP, I was thinking about your reasons why your DS likes DL. Obviously, you've covered the social needs through sports. As a parent with three kids in school, it is easy for the sporty kid than it is for the less sporty one.  One of my kids goes to a private school. He has executive function issues and we had to move him because he just couldn't succeed in in public school. We found it too difficult to monitor and supervise his work and to hold him accountable for a number of reasons, including the facts that many teachers did not post assignments online, offer any course outlines, and grade in a timely manner (and the school refused to give him a 504). The consistent routine of his small private school along with an academic support teacher transformed him into a completely different student.  I was thinking that if this DL arrangement would have come about after that miserable last year in public school when he was failing at everything and we were constantly yelling at him and punishing him, I would have absolutely loved DL for the reasons you mentioned.
