So they have to take the time throughout the day to work.
Sometimes it's just a little bit- maybe 20-30 minutes per class at the most.
With Lil Taz, we let her stretch it out throughout the day and evening, with lots of breaks in between and playing outside and such.

But kids are basically doing nothing these days right?

That was an awful, stressful mess. Thank God we don't do that now for e-learning.

Roads around my place (rural) are still covered in ice but now they have a layer of water on top.

It's a waste of a day. No learning. More effort by the parents. If you need to cancel school

Agreed, eLearning is not a good option for long term instruction
-
tvillini

Ongoing, permanent e-learning is absolutely not a substitute for in person classes

Missing school a couple days won’t either. So why pretend?*
-
CoronaTheirAss
January 23, 2024, 10:53:21
Because the State absolutely mandates 180 days of instruction.
-
tvillini
January 23, 2024, 10:57:59
And my point is that elearning should not be a substitute. If 180 days are mandated

They get made up in summer. You think the kids are more focused then

You can pull your kids out of school to leave on that vacation if you want

They can, but not before reading the riot act to the school for having makeup days.

I think there are office hours that teachers have to provide as well. At least in our district.

Yes, our teachers are available all day via email for questions about the homework*
