[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This outcome was completely predictable.  Young kids (K-3) needed to be in person at school during this critical developmental phase.  It was an urgent issue.  Virtual school for this group was completely inappropriate and it didn't take an education degree to see this and know this from early on.  And no, of course some of these kids will never catch up.

It's disgusting and shameful.

Keep speaking the truth![/quote]

The current 2nd and 3rd grade classes are behavioral train wrecks at our school. Not all the kids obviously, but enough of the kids that it's a serious problem. Oddly enough the 1st graders are fine. Is that just the particular kids at this school or are others seeing the same pattern?[/quote]
My 3rd grader had a good year.  I didn't hear of many behavior issues, though I know the 3rd grade teachers were shocked at how far behind in writing the entire grade was at the beginning of the year.  They redid the schedule to find more time for writing, spelling, grammar and remediation.  Science and social studies got cut back a bunch.

I got the sense that the fall of kindergarten was tough this year with many kids having never been in preschool or even in a group setting.  It seemed to be better by February or so.[/quote]
