Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]
We're not using it because the parents are... Well, you know what they're like.
Well, I think it depends on a school. My kids go to a private one too but it is the staff who rule, not parents. During that first two weeks of online teaching, kids were flooded with school and home work but parents didn`t complain. Yes, they did, but in private, not officially to the headteacher. :):)
We dropped the virtual classroom idea
I see it works very well in my kids` school. When I hear noises like stomping on the floor in one of the rooms, I know they are having a PE class. :):) And the attendance is checked every day. Funny. My youngest son is delighted - he just got a B in physics after doing well in an online test. hahaha
However, from what I can read online, such schools are rare.
About grading - the regulations state that it's up for discussion between teachers and the headteacher,
Well, we were told to think about it. Fortunately, I already had some grades when the plague started. Now I am going to grade one or two home assignments from each student and that`s all.
I watched the press conference, and all I can say is that it's going to end in tears
Yes, it is just like you said. :):)
I've seen some materials prepared by my colleagues
Yes, that is the Polish school - assign as much as possible and then we will see how many are able to cope with it. hahaha
