[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t get it. if the grocery stores are safe then the managers should be there. And the regional managers should be stopping in periodically for the day. Seems to me that the school board and senior leaders can handle a live meeting every 2 weeks if community spread makes it safe enough to return to school![/quote]

It’s been explained repeatedly.  If you’re incapable of understanding, we can’t help you.[/quote]

“Teachers and kids and the lowest paid earners like grocery store clerks and servers should be at work at risk but everyone else should still be able to work at home safely.” We know. [/quote]

+1. If the School Board said, "Hey, we are meeting virtually because we want to keep community spread as low as possible, and we want the BOS and our national leaders to shut down all non-essential businesses and require telework for everyone who is not an essential worker so that schools can remain open and health systems don't get overrun", that would be one thing. They aren't saying that. They're meeting virtually because THEY don't want to risk exposure to Covid but can't say so because it's terrible optics.

School Board doesn’t need to be in person to do their job effectively. Teachers do.[/quote]

[b]Disagree. My kids are doing great with virtual learning, thanks to their teachers. I would also disagree that the School Board has been doing an effective job virtually. Maybe they should try meeting in person.[/b][/quote]

DP.  I completely agree with you.  Our kids are thriving and making progress with DL.  They are quite happy doing DL and not having to deal with the misbehaving idiots who get 90% of the teacher's time because she's trying to keep them in line.  Now those kids can't act out in a way that disrupts learning so it is a complete win-win for my kids.  Finally![/quote]

How are you measuring progress as compared to a traditional school year?[/quote]

The younger two are learning the exact same thing their older sibling learned in previous years. iReady scores look great. I'm not sure whether they're doing the IAAT, but I expect our oldest child to do well on it if they do. His school sent out a couple sample questions and he had no problem with them.[/quote]

They're receiving curriculum at the same pace and depth?[/quote]

Yes. I think they're more focused and learning more than in previous years because there are not classroom disruptions and they have more time during the day to work independently. [/quote]

So regardless of COVID, going back to in-person instruction this/next year is going to be detrimental to your kid's education. I imagine that's going to be disappointing. [/quote]
