Hellobee Boards

@graceandjoy: I think we’re on a similar schedule just a bit behind. We finished up our 3rd week of being home, next week is spring break and then distance learning starts in earnest the following week. The haphazard assignments and tests of video class meets we’ve had this week as prep don’t give me a whole lot of confidence that things will go well when they start up for real. And I have a scheduled c-section the Tuesday of that first week so it’ll mostly fall on my parents.

Overall I think my kiddo will be fine. He’s an extrovert and definitely misses friends but academically this might even be good for him because I’m working with him on harder material than school was. I just worry about the big gap in student knowledge growing because of this, and what does it look like if it happens this early on in the school career? How long will we see a disproportionately large disparity between students.

Also, my district sent a note about all the policies today that included this gem: The State Board of Education has provided general guidance that states, “It is paramount to remember the unprecedented condition students are learning in and to focus on engagement more than evaluation.” It feels like this should be an always policy....
