We ended up with an on-line program with a first year teacher aide that didn't know Spanish. The students were all to work quietly on their chrome books. They were to "look busy" at all times. It was miserable. My child decided to run through the material as quickly as possible and finished the year's coursework in a semester. She got an "A". (she is a good test taker) After much protest, the district hired a Spanish teacher this year. Surprise! they are all behind where they should be after a year's computer instruction. They will be "reviewing" all first semester and cramming this year's lessons into second semester. Yes, a teacher's aide and paying for a computer course was "cheaper" than a credentialed teacher.kghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152719516197876921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-65966740090438895162018-09-29T16:00:20.750-04:002018-09-29T16:00:20.750-04:0050 million students x 180 days x 7 periods =
