[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools did not need to be closed for 18 months. Students did poorly with online learning. This all harmed students' learning. Educating students is why schools exist in the first place. To dismiss concerned parents as just wanting school for babysitters is bad faith. And to blame administrators' current behavior on concerned parents is bizarre reasoning. I'm sure this unhinged poster will find some reason to criticize grammar, lodge more personal attacks, or focus on some other irrelevant topic rather than deal with the issue.

Admin should deal with structural problems that interfere with student learning, such as the lack of meaningful consequences for student misbehavior, having serially disruptive students--whoever they may be--remain in the classroom, too much data collection, not providing decent pay or benefits to essential personnel such as paras, subs, etc., rather than try to micromanage teachers.[/quote]

No, some kids didn't do well with virtual learning, especially those without involved parents.  Parents, teachers and administrators are all to blame for the bad behavior and they all need to come together to address it.  If your kid acts up in school, they should get punished at home.  Simple.

They need to stop all the fluffy teaching go back to basics.  If test scores are going down, look at the curriculum and how the classrooms are run to start with.  Test scores are also going down when things like homework for repetition is being removed.  When they stop teaching math facts, grammar, spelling, and all the basics, that's a problem.  So, if kids don't have parents who work with them at its going to be rough in elementary school and if kids don't get that foundation early on, they will not be successful in MS or HS.

They also waste a huge amount of time with the social-emotional and other things.  [/quote]

And it’s astonishing that THREE YEARS later, this still needs to be repeated, but schools did not “close for 18 months” anywhere in the country. Public school is not buildings. Sorry. It isn’t.[/quote]
