In early 2020, my daughter dropped out of kindergarten to write her first book. I've been told a second edition is in the works.

@DrTCombs I remain both convinced and furious that our district adopted “asynchronous learning” as their model on purely budgetary grounds, knowing full well that roughy a quarter of their students would glean no knowledge whatsoever under that model.
@DrTCombs “How do you expect them to learn French by watching pre-recorded Zoom meetings where they talk to nobody?” was my favorite unanswered question.
@Malaclypse my kid's kindergarten went with asynchronous as well, and then chastised us when she didn't do the work.
at least remote school was synchronous when we switched to a public school for first grade (and she thrived).
asynchronous is a joke. geez. I'd be pissed as hell at your district.
@DrTCombs 100% asynchronous, all classes, all grade levels. No way that did not come down to money, it is educationally indefensible.
@Malaclypse wtf. completely indefensible.
To be fair, her school failed miserably at remote teaching during the pandemic and it had been a really bad fit for her anyway. Her teachers had convinced her she was a bad kid who didn't apply herself, and were threatening to make her repeat kindergarten.
We knew they were idiots. Kid sent them a signed copy of her book anyway.
