I’m not sure what school district you are in,but MCPS has a set curriculum that is followed in normal times. Much of it building upon what was learned the previous years. If they don’t get the full curriculum there will be a difficult adjustment when the curriculum goes back to normal. Also, a fair number of middle schoolers at our school start taking high school credits in 6th.[/quote]

We are new to MCPS middle school and our kids are adjusting well to DL, but I suspect they just aren't learning very much. They only have each class twice a week as opposed to five times a week. They are definitely not over-screen timed because they have lots of breaks and no homework. But I suspect at year-end assessments we will find they didn't learn thet much. I'm OK with that (although I probably was more Ok when I thought this was going to be a 4-6 month thing than a year + thing). DH and I work 50-60 hours a week, we just have no time to supervise or supplement. So as long as they are happy and healthy and learning something that will have to be enough for now. I figure my parents had war-time disruptions of their education,  had to go to school in two totally different languages than the ones they spoke at home, due to multiple occupations of their country. They came through just fine. [/quote]

You could make the time to support your kids but choose not  to.  Big difference.  In MS, depending on the school, normal is only to have class 2-3 days a week on a rotation.[/quote]
