[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not really sure what it means to be honest. I'm not signing up for a homeschooling program. My husband and I both work although our hours are flexible. This afternoon we just all sort of hit the wall. My kids had epic meltdowns after school - my daughter crying endlessly about her headache - and then I got another email from FCPS pushing back distance learning and we decided we can't do it anymore.

Are you familiar with Virginia’s compulsory education laws?[/quote]

How can it be compulsory if the state fails to provide an education? Sounds like a great defense to me. Let the county try to defend its alleged educational services this year. [/quote]

They are providing an education. You are choosing not to partake.[/quote]

We can call this online screen dribble a lot of things but it is definitely not an education. FCPS dropped the ball and essentially gave up. You can't blame the parents for doing the same. [/quote]

You really need to start holding your principal accountable. My kid does not love distance learning but she has learned a lot this year. She just took a big math test, a quarter social studies test, and a science test on a unit about the oceans. She has also read two class novels this year and completed at least five projects. Distance learning is possible but it starts with the admin at your school and the expectations they have for teachers. [/quote]

Novels? My 5th and 6th graders haven’t had any novels or even reading groups.[/quote]
