[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6th grader just returned home and said that more than half of his team was out today. After his homeroom class, they went to a different classroom (not one of his regular classes) and hung out there for the rest of the day (with a break for lunch). No lessons, no teaching, no asynchronous learning on devices. If we had known this in advance, we would have kept him home too.[/quote]

What did they do for 4-5 hours?[/quote]
He said they just talked with friends and hung out.[/quote]

None of this is at all surprising.  One of the many reasons to stay home from school today:  high covid risk and by staying home you would be missing absolutely nothing, academically.  Even in pre-covid years, I wouldn't expect any real learning to take place the day before break; but covid obviously compounds it all.  Deal has been doing this all year-- sending kids to the auditorium when their teachers are out. So no surprise that kids would spend tons and tons of time being 'babysat' today.  I don't blame the administration at all.  They have limited resources to draw on at the moment, and the kids need to be supervised at least.  But expecting anyone to have learned anything at school today does not reflect an understanding of this week's realities.  [/quote]
