[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I guess we had an amazing experience with Cleveland, 2nd grade. We had live instruction for more than an hour a day, maybe it was 1.5 hours, plus daily homework, apps, and twice a week reading groups. This is dual language. We just had phenomenal teachers, I guess. [/quote]

This is the problem that DCPS has created by not instituting a robust distance learning program in the spring. Each school did their own thing. And some schools really sucked at it and a lot of teachers slacked off, doing the bare minimum, due to lack of leadership. And some schools and teachers did a lot.

The result is that one student receives a great educational experience and others received close to nothing. There's the real inequity.[/quote]

Agree, it was SO teacher dependent. I have twins. One had 3+ hours a week of live instruction in math alone. The other had 30-45 minutes a week.

I am hopeful that there will be much more consistent standards for teachers in the new year, with clear structure and expectations. While the crappy teachers will still be crappy, a stronger framework will help everyone.[/quote]
