I have about as many who have submitted the work I posted Tuesday. And yet, parents are clamoring for more 🤷‍♀️

I was told in no uncertain terms that school is not childcare. Therefore this dilemma you are facing is physically impossible.

You go into the office and get your work done. Just like all the other adults.


That is not what has been asked of teachers. Only teachers who would normally report need to. That means first year teachers and those who failed to post grades in a timely manner in the past. Everyone else teleworks.

I sent them a bunch of work to do but I doubt they are doing it.


Thanks, but my kid has received nothing from her AP teachers.

The timing of snow and end of a quarter couldn't have been more perfect.

“Remote optional” means a lot of student will choose to not come to school. What a waste.

I realize this is just a way to meet federal IEP requirements and create “equity” for students with unsafe walks/bus stops but it really stinks.

They will probably also make some stupid requirement about no new learning and must be reteaching or some nonsense.

That is a rumour, there is no direction as of yet

School is closed. Some teachers are on top of it and giving assignments. They should go virtual.
