[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Honestly, what do parents want?[/b] It seems there will be complaining either way. There were a ton of complaints that the time in the spring was not enough live time. The county gives you more live time and parents are still mad. You can’t have it both ways. The school district cannot please everyone! [/quote]

Please, don't be disingenuous - you know what parents want. They want their kid to learn Math, LA and social studies. Everything else is just to keep the others employed (pe, coaches, specials). Nothing wrong with that since we are in a pandemic... it doesn't mean we want and will make our children sit through 6 hours of DL just so p.e teachers and some others feel essential.[/quote]

I disagree with this. [b]You have a ton of parents on here saying their kid will be just logging in for math[/b]. I get the not wanting to do specials and wrap up. I don’t get why you would have a kid miss LA and SS/Sci[/quote]

No you don't. 1 person said it. [/quote]

There are multiple posts on this board with parents saying this. [/quote]

So help them understand why it’s worth their time. Some parents, based on the spring, and their knowledge of their child, believe that they will have to supplement and believe the school offered DL is not the way to go.  There has been nothing offered to date except “trust us” to suggest differently.  Once schools start, and people start the new and improved DL, they will vote with their actions on making their join class or not. I am personally in a wait and see mode but I can certainly understand those who say there is no reason to believe anything will be different. See the thread on that - some teacher or group of teachers told us to shut up because they were on vacation when we asked. [/quote]
