[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's clear in the wake of this report that online hw help cannot be the primary answer when it comes to how FCPS addresses learning loss.

Instead, FCPS must level with parents where students are behind & provide direct academic intervention to those students most in need.[/quote]

As a parent, how do you NOT know where your kids are deficient? I get that there are some parents who can't or don't have the time to know this information. The vast majority, however, do. So pick up the slack and do it.

You can rest on righteous principle ("It's not mY rESponsIbIlTy!") or make sure your kids succeed.[/quote]

Because parents trust the schools -- the "experts" -- thinking that the schools will remediate any issues, or at least let the parents know if they see a problem. Some of this is a layover when schools were more capable, could communicate in clearer language, and had smaller numbers of difficult students with which to deal.  But a) schools aren't very good at remediation, and b) communication is limited, misleading, and opaque. It can be very difficult to penetrate through the jargon for  smart, well-educated people; it is much worse for the not-so-smart and poorly educated who don't read bureaucratic educationese, and whose children are more likely to have problems.

"But the schools kept telling her C.J. was doing fine. His grades were good. He was a well-behaved kid. Then, seventh grade, 2018. C.J. had moved to a new school that year, a public charter school in Nashville. C.J.’s adviser called Sonya in for a meeting. She told her that C.J. was reading on a second-grade level."[/quote]
