[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP DL can work ok for HS and middle school, but it doesn't work for ES at all. The younger the kid, the more quickly they tune out, need redirection and engagement, socialization and physical help. What you are describing sounds ok for 16 year olds - and even then it will still not work well. [/quote]

I can tell you are a parent of young kids. How do you propose to teach AP Physics via DL? Or any serious science class with a lot of lab time? Same for lots of other HS classes. The world does not revolve around your 5yo; all kids need in-person classes if possible.[/quote]

Seriously, these SAHMs and helicopter Moms are giddy that they can have their kids home 24/7 controlling every aspect of their lives.  They have no idea nor do they care about upper school learning and how this will affect HS learners.  Little Jimmy is thriving in his 2nd grade Zooms!   :roll: [/quote]

I think the younger kids are the ones not doing well with zoom. High school kids -- what's the issue exactly?[/quote]

I often think that people have entirely forgotten what they were like when they were in high school.[/quote]

No, I'm 22. I actually took some online college classes to graduate early. It takes discipline and some kind of motivation. In my case I wanted HS to be done and live my life.

I'm also a special education teacher (elementary) and most of my kids did great with group and 1 on 1 lessons. But I'm pretty sure since they weren't dirt boring that helped. 
DL can be done with little kids for about 2 hours (live lessons)

I do feel bad parents have to be a facilitator but now you get more knowledge on how to teach your child. (I am a parent of a 3 month year old btw). My husband is also learning a lot lol. We are all going to have to make sacrifices.  [/quote]

How.  The he!!.  Are working parents.  Supposed to do this???

We all have to make sacrifices.  Cool.  Like one of us has to quit our job.  That loss of half our income, just wave it away as a sacrifice we all have to make.[/quote]
