[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher.  I've been working on things for next week.  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]

Exactly. Just wait until the kids start asking mommy and daddy for help all day when parents are likely doing their own jobs (that pay the bills) from home. That's the likely reality.[/quote]

I think once parents start experiencing this, they'll decide that virtual learning isn't necessary after all and will end up just letting their kids do whatever will keep them occupied on their own. Then they will complain ad nauseum about how MCPS failed to provide virtual learning that's engaging enough to occupy their kids for hours each day. [/quote]
