[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher.  [b]I've been working on things for next week.  [/b]Because I teach early primary, with the exception of one online math program where I'll assign regular work (kids can work independently for 15 minutes per day), every single lesson will have to be supervised by an adult, just like in the classroom.  Online teaching is necessary to ensure kids don't lose more progress, but [b]it won't be something kids can do on their own.  K-2 takes full adult supervision nearly 100% of the time, 3-4th, about 50% supervision, and 5-8th about 25% supervision.  Even high schoolers need some amount of help. [/b] No one wanted this, but here we are.  I wish every parent the best regardless of whether their kids' teacher provides work or not, though I truly hope they do.  We need to you sit next to your kid a few hours each day to help them learn.  That's what we do each day and now that we can't be there, we need you to be there.  Good luck![/quote]

I don't think that the complainers on DCUM have fully realized this.[/quote]

So who gave you a directive? I used to teach, but I have friends who are still in MCPS.  They haven't received any information.

This bit is from the email (3.23) from loving husband, Chris Lloyd:

[quote]As I told you on Friday, I’m not worried about our ability to teach children, under any conditions presented to us.  The instruction won’t be perfect, and at times it will give us unanticipated challenges and headaches, but we will be ok.  Because when we rely on good people with good skills and good hearts to work with our young scholars, the result is going to be just fine.

I’ll provide more information tomorrow about instruction.  Be well.  Take care of yourself and each other.  This is going to be a long journey unlike any we have taken as teachers, so we need to mind our health.[/quote][/quote]
