LAMB’s virtual instruction was very good.[/quote]

Haha. No it wasn’t. I’m PP above was referencing LAMB[/quote]

Gotta agree that it was sort of…uh…useless.  I am not particularly blaming the teachers but I just think younger age groups can’t learn via DL.  LAMB probably understood this but didn’t care (like every other school attempting education for younger ages via DL).  So I was not impressed bc there could have been better acknowledgement of this and better methods  to address it.  At least in LAMB’s case, there was this wild lack of comprehension that parents work and can’t hover over children to make up for educational shortcomings.  I don’t know what teachers/admin thought was possible, but it was weird how they expected parents to just make up for things with no resources other than a workbook supplied halfway through the year.[/quote]

NP. Agree with all of this. I can’t even say I was hovering; it was full on sitting on him to be in front of the screen for even 30 minutes.  I did find the apps thru Clever work well for us. But since I was essentially teaching everything anyway, we could have skipped the virtual lessons. 
Where I think LAMB could have differentiated itself is with open communication, more check ins with parents, and creativity in pushing for more in person instruction. Oh, and maybe better designed survey questions. Or maybe, not misconstrued responses.

Also more small differentiated groups, less useless one on ones for each one of 30 kids taking up all the teachers time, and no stupid powerpoints, the list goes on. When we parents stopped being able to hover over our kid to do all the assignments, which was meant to be most of the learning, none got done. Watching 2 30 minute classes per day, one of which had 30 kids in it was not learning. [/quote]
