So just to add fuel to my fire....
Today the report cards came out for my DD in elementary school.
We knew that everything for the 3rd triester would be pass/fail since they weren't in school. OK, no problem.
It's actually pass or N/A. I get it, they can't know kid's home situations, you can't fail them for not being able to distance learn.
However...
I notice DD got all Passes but Social Studies and Science were marked N/A.
Now she did ALL the social studies and science work and got 100's and 90s on all the tests posted during distance learning.
So I emailed the teacher to ask why did she get an N/A in those subjects when she worked hard and did well.
The response was-
The District made the decision to take off Social Studies and Science midway through Distance Learning.
However, I continued with SS and Science because I felt it was important and it was good ELA practice, as well. We used the tests as comprehension practice. There will be a NYS Science Test in 5th grade, so we wanted to make sure we covered the material. I hope this answers your question.
So the district decided that they didn't need to teach them social studies and science?
Why?
And this was never communicated to us by the district OR the teacher.
I'm so fuking done. This whole thing is a huge joke and I'm so sad and worried for these kids and their educations.
One of my kids got an N/A in gym and the other one got a grade... It seems I didn't log enough because others got grades.
That's why I emailed the teacher- I was like- no way is she getting an NA in Science and Social Studies- we did it all and she scored high on tests.
But no, the district "decided" half way through that Science and Social Studies are not necessary to be taught so nobody was graded on it.
I really can't believe how disgusted I am with my district. They suck.

I am just hoping that colleges will bypass this semester and ignore any failed as it is not fair to these kids who tried as all basically gave up. What was the point to sit for hours on end, get a P and just take the first 3 semesters as your grade. They might have gotten a few points more but it really wasn't worth it.
