[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crisis school what a horrible term.  But yes that is what happened in April.

It was, there is no doubt about it.  I'm a teacher.  We learned on Thursday that Friday was our last day of school, and we didn't know how long it would be.  We thought it'd be maybe 2 weeks?

We sent the kids home.  They didn't have devices.  We had no plan.

Whatever we managed to put together last spring was our best effort at the time but... it was NOT distance learning.  I agree that kids didn't learn very much those months.  We tried.  But we weren't even teaching all day.  Kids didn't have devices.  They were watching lessons on TV.

Since September though, we have been teaching all day every day and following up with students who are absent.  Every child has a school device.  They have internet access.  I don't like distance teaching, but I don't think there are any studies out there that accurately measure the learning students have been accomplishing the past five months.  There can't be because we have never done this, before.
