How has remote learning been going?

By Joyce Szuflita
Everyone wants to know. I don’t get enough reports to make any judgements. One problem is that individual teachers and individual students will have personal challenges that have a big impact. Which schools had the best plan and the best support for their staff is the question. Are there schools where there is a lucky cluster of teachers who have embraced this challenge or show a talent for drawing out and engaging their students remotely?

I would be happy to take your comments about your experiences. It is also wildly important that you send in reviews to www.insideschools.org about your in school in normal times as well as remote school experiences for next year’s parents who will be searching for K, 6th grade and 9th grade. I can’t tell you how important this is for your neighbors. Please, please do it now. If you are a student, try not to dig into personal grievances. Tell about the good and the bad. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Be fair but be specific.

Please, please share as much concrete information as possible.
If you feel that you can comment about your school below (you may do so anonymously):

  1. how old is your child? and if it is a positive review (lets try and stay positive)- what is your school?

  2. how often and how long is their interaction with their teacher each day?

  3. if you are having a good experience, do you credit it to the talent of your particular teacher or has there been institutional/school backup?

  4. is there any one particular thing that is most effective?
