Teachers are doing are working hard and doing a lot. It is too much there are too many apps & platforms, too much switching between small groups & whole class.  There are some hour long classes & some 15 minute mini session & only 30 minutes for lunch. 
 Pretty sure the core learning could be done in half the time but enough (or the loud) parents want their kids busy on the computer the made a full day of classes. I really wish kids were only on live lessons 2 ish hours a day at this age.  8:30- 2pm is just too much.[/quote]

My first grader only has 1.5 hours a day live class. If you don't count the special (which I don't, we mainly skip it). Some days she has 2 hours. [/quote]

Umm.. we were told attendance is taken 4 times a day including the mornings and afternoons. The schedule we have schedule reads:

8:30-9 morning meetings
9-10am math (often switch to independent learning at 10:45 to finish work books etc)
10:15- 11:15 literacy (they do have abt 15 minutes a day they work independently while in the zoom waiting room for both math and lit)
11:15-11:45- lunch
11:45-12pm - community building or mini specials lesson's
12:00-1pm - Science/ Social Studies 2 days & Literacy 2 days
1-1:15 closing circle
Afternoons are teacher meetings, office hours, & any additional services children need which are live. Or independent work time which might be on or offline- depending on the assignments and what the child was able to complete during the above classes

Wednesdays are light: 
8:30-9am -Morning meeting
Mornings are independent so far but some of that work requires kids to be on a computer.
11:45-12:40- Specials Block 1
12:30-1pm Block 2
Attendance is taken during specials and is supposed to be required.

I know some students have modified schedules. But if you are only attending 2 hours a day you are definitely missing classes.

No, we are not at ITS. I was only responding to the idea that less live class is better.[/quote]
