[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well first of all, my 4th grader had a decent experience. Not amazing but good enough. He knows his fractions and decimals and he wrote 2 short essays. They did virtual reading groups too and responded to teachers recorded daily read alouds.

I have no doubt if we do this again, then work would be graded, which is a necessity.

My school hasn't announced a final plan yet, but we may go DO due to my quirky kids needs (not a great time to be 
dealing with a sniffing tic for instance).[/quote]

For every kid like yours there are 3 others who have a chaotic home life or other obstacles that make DL impossible. They will not be grading.[/quote]

There are some plenty of kids with bad home situations who act out in school as a result. I’ve seen some pretty vicious posts about kids with those issues riot to this. I guess people have changed their tune.

I guess I’m not getting your point. DL was much more emotionally safe for my kid who is targeted due to his special needs. I’ve seen post on here, more than once, about how kids mine are obviously just messed up, since he dreads going back, or that  his sensory sensitivities should exclude him anyway.

Yet, I’m not arguing that in-person shouldn’t be the goal. It’s just that DL can work and needs to work due to level of virus in the country. [/quote]
