I'm a different poster. What this parent wrote probably describes at least 1/2 if not more of the students in DL. Obviously some of the details are different- but that is a vivid picture of how DL is working for the majority of kids. Certainly it describes my kids, and I have heard many many stories from different parents along these lines. There is no amount of 'support' the school can give- they need to get the kids back in school. I want to throw things when I hear Bridget Loft say at school board meetings 'well if a student is struggling start by reaching out to the teacher.' They need to be back in school- anything else is just nibbling around the edges.

Fascinating. Because everyone I know with middle schoolers says it’s fine. Not great but fine. So there are a lot of experiences.  I dont think your claim that it’s half the kids having extreme anxiety  is remotely accurate.  [/quote]

It’s not. As a teacher I would say the “vast majority” of my students are getting by. They don’t love it, they’re resigned to it, get why it’s necessary, and 80% chose DL for semester 2 as well even with the things they don’t like. So that says something.  I would say 10-15% are thriving/excelling beyond what they would in school or managing pretty well nonetheless and 10-15% are TRULY struggling to an extent that can’t really be fixed. They are struggling but are NOT the vast majority [/quote]
