Our child went in-person for 7 months this year. Barely learned anything, very little communication from the teacher to parents. School isn't very welcoming, they don't even want parents inside. We don't even know what the classroom looks like. Teacher regularly cut online classes super short. Art and worksheets seems to have been done completely unassisted. For example, "I play TV" was not corrected for grammar. Close Quote
