[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was only rolled out on April 14 of SY 2021-22.  Is that even two months?  Maybe it's a total failure but it seems premature to say so now.  [/quote]

+1. My God.

FCPS introduces a measure to address learning loss - an unprecedented event - it doesn't go well for the first quarter and then people are screaming failure. Give it a chance. One issue we have run into is a tutor not being available at a desired time. I don't know if that's a widespread problem though.[/quote]

They made a mess of it by keeping kids out of school for so long so no, we are not in the mood to be “understanding”[/quote]

LOL. We spent all of last year trying to keep your kids from leaving class to  roam the hallways with their friends and fight in the bathrooms, and this year we can't even get a large number of them to attend regularly enough to pass their classes. The "kept schools closed" argument is a cheap scapegoat whose time has passed.[/quote]

I don't blame teachers for closing schools - it seemed like a good idea at the time.  But I think many people are discounting the extreme and long-lasting effects it had on children, teens, and adults.

My grandparents never recovered from the Great Depression.  I don't discount the trauma of the short overall period of time of closures.  [/quote]

This.

As someone who worked in hospital, I will never be able to forget how public schools [b]cavalierly abandoned their sacred duties[/b] during the 2020-21 school year.

And how I was told that I was “selfish” for wanting my child with an IEP learn in person.  And the IEP meeting where the case manager lied over and over agin about how services were being delivered effectively.  And spent money that I don’t have to pay for a tutor trying to help him catch up when it was clear that the school was not going to do anything about his lack of progress since March of 2020.

[b]Sorry, but the trauma was real[/b].  I’m so very glad not every family experienced what I did.  But it was and is awful that schools did this to many children.  [/quote]

Are you always this absurdly melodramatic, or only on DCUM?[/quote]

Are you seriously making fun of the mom of a kid with an IEP who missed out on key services for over a year? Shame on you. [/quote]

I’m not the PP but I’m gonna add another insight as both a parent of a child with an IEP and a teacher. The special education services that FCPS provide are not great and to be frank they’re really horrible. I can’t imagine that the student missed a lot because what if FCPS provides is practically nothing. When you go to IEP meetings, just assume that half of the services they tell you the student is getting and half of the progress they report is fabricated. When I have attended meetings and they reported on progress, I personally have not seen that progress. I have attend meetings where they make up data. And as a teacher, the SPED support is often, repeat often, not in the room for the hours indicated in the IEP.[/quote]
