[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious to know what school district the thriving kids are in.  We are in fcps, and not thriving.  I noticed a few pieces of info that suggested the posters are elsewhere, like recorded videos (we have no recorded videos and can't even access the classroom materials after the class ends), seeing friends on camera (our school doesn't use them), and so on.

My young ES child is in FCPS and is doing just fine.  That said, I would really like to know everyone's definition of thriving here. I wouldn't say my child is thriving because I take that word to mean that my child is doing better in DL than she would be doing in-person, and (a) I don't have have the in-person version of my kid's technologically-challenged teacher to compare her to), (b) the curriculum is very different from what it would be in-person, and (c) there are some things you just can't learn online.

With all of those caveats, my child is probably thriving [i]when compared to other children[/i]. She IS learning, does all of her work mostly without complaining, asks for help when she needs it, doesn't have any issues with paying attention, etc...  She's also an introvert, and has a younger sibling she is very close with, a neighborhood friend she plays outside with a couple times a week (masked, of course), and a couple online extracurriculars, so she has a little bit of a social life, too.
