[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It better be more than last time.  We got less than two hours of live teaching a week.[/quote]

Our school had two, 25-min live sessions per week. Insane. It all fell to the parents. We’ve already been engaging the chancellor’s office to make sure our principal doesn’t pull this stunt again. [/quote]

Was this Hearst?[/quote]

I’m a NP, my kids go to Hearst and this sounds like what they got! It was really horrific and better not happen again. [/quote]

That is just unacceptable. Every classroom teacher should be checking in on the students in their class every day, just like if in-person. Shame on anyone thinking two, 25-min live sessions per week was even remotely close to being enough.[/quote]

Same thing happened with our 4th grade class at Stoddert. Two 15-20 minutes opportunities a week to hear from the (normally amazing) teacher live. It was so nuts. I'm not sure on what level she thought it was remotely adequate. I didn't complain because all the teachers and schools and students and parents were having to shift and adjust expectations very quickly because it was all new. And besides, they had gotten 2/3 of the way through the year, so most of the teaching had been done. But if we're potentially looking at a full year of DL DCPS must be much, much better. I will not be quiet again. There is too much at stake. If central office or the principals set ridiculous bare minimums for live instruction, I hope we as parents will demand more. [/quote]
