Considering a lawsuit. Look, I am well aware that everyone is stressed out from the pandemic teachers and staff very likely to be included, HOWEVER.... Aren't we all suppoed to be in this together? Many students and parents are very new & green to this whole online learning format, but some (not all, there are a few amazing teachers who have been very kind and understanding, so thank you to the good teachers, this isn't about the proud and the few who are fantastic) seriously bad apple teachers are cracking the whip on those pace charts like you owe them blood money. How many other parents have also had their kids teachers play musical chairs and switch on them several times? The DBAs, the pace charts, the assignments work load? It's overwhelming! I had to cut back on my hours at work just to keep track of what my kids were doing for school and to keep them on task and they are still somehow behind. AND how am I supposed to make money when I have less hours at work? All for what? More stress? Pulling my hair out? Losing sleep at night? Worried about my kids grades and exams and projects? One project involved creating a website. Who has this kind of time? And if I wasn't home to help, how would my kids know how to create a website from scratch at home on Wix? They're in middle school for pete's sake! And some teachers act like the other teachers do not even exist and they are the only ones on the planet earth handing out assignments. "It's not that hard." Umm, it is when your kid has 6 to 7 classes to keep track of or you have multiple children! Seriously considering both a lawsuit and homeschooling so that I can come up with my own damn curriculum and pace chart. This school owes me backpay, the cost of all the supplies and study guides I've had to purchase to figure these courses out, plus the medication and therapy I'm gonna need to try to survive this semester. I've even had one teacher call my kid's phone at 8:30 am asking for a parent just to "let me know" that my kid is 5 lessons behind so if we could work on that... Stress. Pure, stress. This is like trying to get middle school kids through college level online classes with that level of pace. What the hell? Oh! And get this. You know what one teacher told me when I informed her that my child has learning disabilities and an IEP? "Just do school work on the weekends if he takes too long during the week. That will give him a little bit of extra time." Oh yeah. Okay. Sure. Never rest. Just do school all week long. Is this hell? Are we in hell? Look man, I agree that teachers should be paid way more and I'm willing to get a petition signed for that here in Florida because good teachers are underpaid...But this is ridiculous. Nobody signed up for this. Let's crush everyone's spirits. Let's have an unreasonable workload and dump that on children and parents who have NEVER done anything like this before. The welcome meetings made it sound so simple. Nah. Say goodbye to yourlife. Update: Just scrolled through other reviews, 2,412 and counting look at the percentages most are 1 star, runner up is 5 star. Why? Because the school responds with a quick "I'm sorry to hear about your experience" note and then has it's own staff send in a dozen 5 star reviews to bring up their percentage rating... Fishy, my dudes, very fishy.
