[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since you now have the opportunity to teach the skills you want them to learn at home, order some workbooks and do it. Don't wait for the teachers.[/quote] All the involved FCPS parents I know already supplement heavily. Our kids will be fine. What about the kids whose parents can’t, won’t, or don’t notice they need to, though? Shouldn’t the teachers and administrators care that what they do doesn’t work? Having schools closed has allowed me to supplement while working around only 2-3 hours of class instead of 7+bus ride time, and it has been glorious.[/quote] Why do you assume heavy supplementation by parents can replace a good education in school? I do not have the confidence that I—as someone who has zero teaching experience—can teach my child the core of what she needs to learn in school. Her education is too important to be left to my own abilities. I would be very scared that I missed something. We’re paying for private school as a result. [/quote]
