[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a senior at West Potomac.  We have had 3rd period split between homeroom and a remediation period for atleast the last 4 years. Remediation or Seriod (for silver day) has students return to a designated period each silver day. Attendance is taken but no new material is taught.  Its solely for completing work, working with the teacher or test corrections.  In Homeroom they do do some of the mental health stuff. As a group of parents we cant complain that our students are suffering with mental health concerns  as a reason to reopen schools and then be pissed when the district attempts to address it.

I’m still so bewildered by parents who support this change. Do they honestly think that this will help kids mental health? Access to teachers is hugely valuable and something that was in short supply last year. I’m not a fan of a change that reduces teacher availability.[/quote]

The silly, cliched "mental health" lessons are completely performative - just something from a checklist so they can say they "addressed" them.  What my kid - and her friends - are most stressed about - is having time to get help from teachers in the classes where they're struggling.  That alone would alleviate a ton of stress. [/quote]
