[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone further explain the need for so much 1:1 and planning time each week?  [/quote]

There has always been this much 1:1 and small group time.  Usually your kid is given busy work or “work time” so the teachers can meet with small groups.  They have just been at school so your never noticed it. [/quote]

DP. 1:1 time never happened at our DCPS 3rd grade. My son struggles and would have gotten 1:1 if they were doing it. It wasn’t for small groups either. The few times there were small groups, it was during regularly scheduled DL class time. There is no escaping the math that kids were getting far, far less instructional time. I’m kind of gobsmacked that this was allowed to continue for so long. [/quote]

Well you should have complained to the principal about it.  At much school we had to account for every single minute between 8:30-3:30.  Every single one had to be filled with something. Whole group, small group, 1:1, lunch, planning.

Your problem is a school problem.  Lack of teacher probably occurs when in the building too [/quote]

Do you mean during regular school or DL? During regular MS, there is group work during class. Class is five times per week. There is group work during class in DL. Class is twice per week. The math doesn’t add up. [/quote]

I'm wondering if you expect a full 8:45-3:15pm schedule?

How many kids can handle staring at a screen for 3-4 hours straight? And how successful would it be if your kid had to be online the whole time but without a teacher at some points, like a small group of kids work on what they normally would in person.

Do you expect the teacher to clone themselves or do ONLY whole group lessons?

It seems you are just wildly salty about your specific teacher. DCPS has allot teacher at least 5 hours of planning a week in pandemic time, individual schools can make it more. 
There is also a minimum of online live time they must have and it's not the whole day.

That is not the teacher's issue, I have no clue what it is for middle schoolers but if she's making that time there's nothing you can say or do because at this point in time that is what the job requires. [/quote]

DP. No, I don’t think kids should stare at a screen for 4 hrs. that’s why schools need to reopen. but absolutamente DL should have been more intensive and taken more advantage of the format. Some charters managed DL much better by hiring additional staff to provide small groups. [/quote]
