Shrevewood parent here. On our principal call today, he said they won't be doing reading groups even though it seems like a lot of other schools are. Very disappointing.

Not sure what good talking to the principal
Would do when she would have approved the lack of teaching time to start with but that’s what they said.

According to the Braband town hall, the floor for elementary school synchronous learning is one hour per day of the teacher teaching LIVE. If you child isn’t getting that, he suggested talking to the principal or the principal supervisor (??) for your region. There were a lot of complains about this.

I am PP just before you. Our good experience is with White Oaks elementary. Don’t know if this is school-wide there or if we just are lucky to have an excellent teacher team of the ones DD is working with.

“ There ARE schools and teachers doing a good job but nobody on DCUM ever wants to talk about the positive things”
My daughter’s AAP teacher team is doing awesome and I have posted about her experience up thread. Perhaps there just are fewer cases of really good experiences than lack luster ones.

In addition, they have just added a special with an assigned time for each grade daily.
There is a Word Masters Challenge this week and two other assignments for language arts are due. There is also a standing math quiz each Friday.
I call bullshit unless you tell us what school.
You can call bullshit all you want but I am not telling you the school as I would hate for them to face any backlash. There ARE schools and teachers doing a good job but nobody on DCUM ever wants to talk about the positive things.

No, the live class is just DD's class, not the entire third grade. The good thing about it is they were able to continue learning these past few weeks when the live classes weren't working.

I'd love to see more live sessions, but it does seem hard to get things done with so many students. Last week they broke the kids out into smaller sessions, which was nice.
7th grader has live classes Wednesdays and Fridays. Each class meets once for 45 minutes.
Wow, that's terrible. Just 30 minutes of "live" class a week, and its the entire 3rd grade in the "room"?

Our fourth grader (AAP) is doing one hour a day in the morning (live) and then a small group every afternoon for another hour (live). So two hours total, four days a week (no Fridays). The specials aren't live.

I thought so too but there doesn't seem to actually be any rules.
