[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Honestly, what do parents want?[/b] It seems there will be complaining either way. There were a ton of complaints that the time in the spring was not enough live time. The county gives you more live time and parents are still mad. You can’t have it both ways. The school district cannot please everyone! [/quote]

Please, don't be disingenuous - you know what parents want. They want their kid to learn Math, LA and social studies. Everything else is just to keep the others employed (pe, coaches, specials). Nothing wrong with that since we are in a pandemic... it doesn't mean we want and will make our children sit through 6 hours of DL just so p.e teachers and some others feel essential.[/quote]

We aren’t talking about PE. We’re talking about it morning meeting, which is done with your child’s teacher and class. If you’re not going to do it, ok. But don’t  turn around and then blame school or teacher for DL not being good for your kid. You’ll be opting them out of the very things that will make it more tolerable and build connections with peers and give the teachers the chance to get to know them. I can’t effectively teach a kid I know nothing about. DL *will* be less enjoyable and less effective for your child if you opt out of these aspects. Again, your choice, just understand the consequences of the choice.[/quote]

If you're a teacher, it's sad that you don't understand children.  For K-2, there's a reason that they were supposed to go back to the building during Phase 2. I guess the governor knows more about children and education than you do.[/quote]
