[quote=Anonymous]I go to a very different type of school (T1 in DC) but a lot of what you write resonates for me as well. I’m convinced that the trend away from direct instruction and textbooks and towards online learning & grading is a real decline in education. So much time spent online and so little time teaching & providing feedback. With no textbooks or paper-based assignments, it’s extremely hard for parents to track. And there’s this thing I cannot exactly put my finger on, but it’s like they are actually opposed to making kids work hard - like, require correct grammar, math drills, quizzes. The difference in the T1 school is that the school doesn’t even pretend to try to teach organization or prep for HS. I will say that teachers are very responsive, but that may just be because relatively fewer parents are trying to be in touch with them. [/quote]
