[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ by social workers, you mean CSFA, right? We’ve gotta start calling a spade a spade. If a child is unsafe in your home it is not a school social worker issue. It is a child & family services issue.

Not teleschooling (or whatever you want to call it) and being in really rough family situations can be two very different things. I have a handful of elementary school kids who are not doing any work because there isn't anyone at home holding them accountable. These are kids that live in stable, safe homes and all appear to be higher SES families. It's shocking to me.[/quote]

I wouldn’t jump to conclusions. My DH and I are not requiring our child to participate in the school division’s online learning because it’s a waste of her time. I’m an elementary school teacher and I’m providing her with a far better education than what’s available from the school. I know many families who are in similar situations, FWIW. [/quote]

I'm not jumping to any conclusion I am talking about kids who sometimes do assignments and sometimes don't. Sometimes they will pick up the call, sometimes they won't. Not one of their parents have told me that their child is not required to participate in online learning or they are providing an alternative. I hope that any family in a similar situation notifies at least the teacher so all the energy trying to get kids to do any work can be directed to the students who are.[/quote]
