1/5 My unpublished letter to the NYT regarding its May 1 story about resistance to suspending grades:
Wildly unequal circumstances while children learn at home is a persuasive reason to suspend traditional grading. Parents who oppose this seem to fear that two things may happen..

@lifeandlifeonly @mrsleban It’s ridiculous. Fortunately, it’s not a battle for us but after a full day of school, she should be able to just be a 6 year old kid! Meaningless packets, worksheets & reading logs...don’t get me started!

[Emily Georgalas @MrsGeorgalas]

@ctroyerell Ahhh basals! 🤣

[Emily Georgalas @MrsGeorgalas]

@mrsleban @lifeandlifeonly My KINDERGARTENER gets sooo much homework every night, too!! Ugh!

[Emily Georgalas @MrsGeorgalas]
