[quote=Anonymous]I am enraged. Currently disenrolling DS13 in favor of homeschooling.

Spring semester at his middle school was a shitshow. We are very on top of him, especially in regards to academics, so he was attending every single meeting/class and doing all his work, but it quickly became clear he was falling behind reasonable grade equivilencies especially relating to math/science. I feel real bad for his classmates, many of whom missed weeks of meetings and assignments. I stead of giving him an academic break like we do most summers only requiring 1-2 hours of academic work, he now has to be doing 5-6 hours every weekday to catch up/get ahead and we had to hire a tutor to work one on one with him 2-4 days a week.

I dont think online schooling, in this manner, is effective or acceptable at all. The fact DCPS isnt reopening is a shame. I understand why they overreacted in the spring, but the science is clear that children/teens are at far lower danger of serious complications from COVID, and other schools, many in far worse hit areas of the country, are reopening for full in person instruction with very positive results.
