As a computer teacher- this is devastating. Our AP Computer Science Principles curriculum is all online-last year this robbed far too much time from them. Of course I have alternate lessons, but we are online for every class- I can't reasonably be expected to have an alternate lesson for EVERY SINGLE CLASS in case of internet failure. They are too busy blocking educational tools like edmodo, google drive, etc. in an attempt to coerce teachers into onenote to take care of our basic connectivity issues.

Internet going out while we are required to do baseline testing. Focus going down, which means teachers are pressured to record that attendance or else, but we can't. Oopsie! Who knows what this year's problem is. However, we do know the district replaced ATT with another contractor as our internet provider. Among the many reasons, the most likely solution is that the new internet provider is not up to the job. And that is very worrisome. If DCPS does not make this a critical priority, like Japan just bombed Pearl Harbor and we need all ship makers to go full out, these problems could sabotage the FSAs come May 2019.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544213160574214282noreply@blogger.com
