Ridgewood NJ, Until the coronavirus pandemic closed schools, only a minority of children were taught at home. In the United States, an estimated 1.7 million children were homeschooled out of a national school population of 56.6 million.
School closures due to the COVID-19 outbreak mean millions of parents and guardians who have grown accustomed to sending their children to traditional schools are now faced with the task of educating them at home.

Ridgewood NJ, CDC offers considerations for ways in which schools can help protect students, teachers, administrators, and staff and slow the spread of COVID-19 when reopening. Schools, working with state and local health officials, can determine whether and how to implement these considerations while adjusting to meet the unique needs and circumstances of the local community.
“Morgan and Brogan should pay this legal fee. They acted illegally. They were told to stop. They kept right on with their despicable behavior. They’ve been told to stop AGAIN. And now they are pouting and refusing to pay. What the fuck. Are we in grade school? Pay the damn fee you two. Do this one thing right, would you????”
“Here’s the feedback.
– Spoiled ineffective RW parents can’t manage their privileged selfish children.
– Spineless RW school system won’t implement (let alone enforce) any mandatory structure nor enforce any substantive academic standards.
– Teachers whine about how hard they are working and what challenges they are overcoming
– NJEA/NEA are conflicted over whether it is more beneficial to the teachers (I mean students, wink, wink), to push for reopening schools in September or to push to keep schools closed in September.
– RW parents post teacher support signs on their lawns and publically espouse what heroes the teachers are while privately complaining about how the teachers are failing to address their kids needs (while never making sure their child attends virtual class or does his homework).”

Ridgewood NJ, Dr. Fishbein shared that we will be surveying parents (K-12), students (6-12), and the staff to get feedback on remote learning. He added that we will have the extended school year for those students who qualify, and we are also looking at the enrichment program. At this time, we have not received guidance from the state regarding whether instruction should be done remotely or in-person; therefore, we are planning to move forward with a remote plan for the summer. Furthermore, we will be evaluating students early in the next school year to determine what gaps may have occurred, and a plan will be in place to catch students up by the end of 2021.
