I hope YY is taking into consideration that some of those teachers have kids of their own at home. Kind of impossible to do both.

YY teachers are amazing and can handle having kids of their own at home will teaching. Most teachers wouldn't be able to, but that's yet another thing that sets YY apart from all the rest.

I was thinking YY. They are doing live classes.

Not OP, but I’m going to guess DCI. They created a distance learning schedule that was put in place immediately after the shutdown. Teachers hold live class on zoom, and assignments are posted in google classroom. Teachers also have office hours on Fridays.

name of the charter??

DCPS returns from Spring Break on Tuesday, so give us some specifics on what is working really well for your family! We need all the suggestions we can get. I wear a school leadership hat and parent one, as well.

Great if homeschooling works for your family. Congratulations.

What's the point? A few things but there are many more. Socialization. Chemistry lab. Gym. Organized athletics. Hot lunch for students who need it. Parent's able to work outside of the home and work with less interruption inside of the home.

Just because an online school is great it doesn't mean regular in-person school should go away.

Mostly this. Plus a safe space for kids' whose homes aren't safe.

Yay!

Whatcha emailing bout, op?

Everyday this week has been phenomenal. These teachers are working so hard to provide resources, daily classroom meetings, individual sessions, and office hours where my emails have not gone unanswered for more than an hour.

In the time of anxiety and worry, I’m over here applauding!
