[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After listening to the teaching that DC experienced over Zoom I would love to send to private but it's not affordable. 
The amount of time wasted, the lack of individual feedback....EVER... the lack of rigor in the work.. I was and am disgusted at the state of "education. "

People are disgusted with parents like you. *Shrug*[/quote]

Get over yourself and try to do better.

My own DC had a teacher who spent 15 minutes doing attendance every morning.  She would ask the kids some silly question like "what's your favorite type of pizza" and spend 15 minutes gabbing with the kids when they answered. 15 minutes every class. That's 30 minutes a week for a class that met twice a week. I'll give you a hint: that's 25% of the learning time wasted.

And I don't blame teachers. I blame principals and administrators who allow this to go on. Not once did an administrator observe what was going on in a class. There is no accountability in schools.

DP.. I think the chitchat was on person during covid/zoom.  Teachers were trying to make it fun and engage the students.  Not saying I thought DL was great. It wasn't. But, MCPS was also focused on social/emotional issues as well as academic issues this past year.

I think if my kids kids needed smaller class sizes and more individual attention, I might look at private.  My older DC did really well this past year and is in a magnet. The younger one could use smaller class sizes even pre-DL, but the public schools here are large enough that they can provide very interesting programs and clubs for all, whereas the smaller ones don't have the scale to do that.

So, public we will stay.   [/quote]

It was absolutely done on purpose. There is 15 minutes each morning devoted to a morning meeting. The whole point is to establish a relationship with the students. I can't even believe someone is upset about it. [/quote]

This was 7th grade. It was an English course. Just stop.[/quote]
