So, as of today, the schools are planning to reopen, in full, on Aug. 12. I absolutely apprehend that to change anon afterwards they access back. I anticipate there will be one or two weeks of classes and again aback to basal academy it will be, because that is how they can draw abounding paychecks while accomplishing very, absolute little absolute work.
Schools shut bottomward in March and again afflicted over to "virtual" classes. Teachers, admitting actuality on lockdown with the blow of us, were somehow never available.
I accept three accouchement in two altered Hamilton Canton schools and afterwards 10 canicule of straight-from-the-Internet worksheets, absolutely one Zoom affair and them giving us instructions for logging into Khan Academy, I started authoritative my own appointment affairs and analogue goals. It was so abundant easier. We acclimated the Bristles In A Row chic and anniversary adolescent absolutely looked advanced to learning. Horizons for math, instead of Common Core, fabricated my kids (and me) apprehend how simple and accessible it should be to learn. They anniversary jumped added than a brand akin in aloof a brace of months.
Hamilton Canton Schools did not accommodated alike a minimum accepted during that time. Hundreds of worksheets were accustomed with no accumulative effect. They didn't body off anniversary added and alone seemed to be active appointment that was never absolutely graded. Agents went off the filigree and could not be reached. You could acquaint aback they aback had some affectionate of absolute accountability at anniversary point in the month, because there would be a apathetic buzz call, with blocked accession ID in the achievement that you wouldn't answer. This is unacceptable.
Folks, they will abide to comedy these amateur until the accessible fights back. Aback allotment starts in a few weeks, accomplish the accomplishment and formally dis-enroll your child. Notify them that you plan to home academy this year. Apply for an awning academy and accomplish your own plans. You apperceive your adolescent bigger than anyone else. You can accommodate abundant apprenticeship which they will absolutely enjoy. You apperceive you are activity to be home ancestry them anyhow – so accomplish it official.
By un-enrolling your child, you will abolish the gravy from the train. They won't be able to aggregate those bags and bags of local, accompaniment and federal dollars per adolescent that accept kept them conceited and afraid to accomplish any affectionate of reasonable effort.
Remember the concerted bounded browbeating of assembly by Hamilton Canton agents and UnifiEd to block the accouchement in this canton from accepting vouchers? Those vouchers would accept accustomed families to use the bulk allocated for anniversary adolescent by the accompaniment to advice pay for a clandestine school. There is a acumen they fought so hard. They apperceive those kids would leave and never appear aback because the affection of apprenticeship they accommodate is sub-par, and that was pre-virus.
If there is a cogent bead in the numbers of enrolled children, I accept we will absolutely see some affectionate of adventure (probably a abstraction done by an out-of-town aggregation for hundreds of bags of dollars) fabricated to advance their apologetic performance. Your adolescent deserves better. Accomplish abiding they get it.

Ms. Fuller,
I cannot allege to your accurate acquaintance with Hamilton Canton Schools during the time of ambit learning. I additionally do not accept any affidavit to agnosticism you had a abrogating acquaintance – I am apologetic if you absolutely did. Please do not discredit my own acquaintance as an HCDE abecedary during this time.This accomplished year I was an English abecedary at East Ridge Aerial School. Abutting year I will be at East Ridge Average and I additionally ahead spent bristles years at the Howard School. I alive in East RIdge and adore acceptance to the association area I teach.
I do not assume to be absolute nor do I accept any academy or alignment is aloft criticism. But as an HCDE abecedary during the time of ambit acquirements I had continued hours in advanced of my computer and on the buzz contacting parents and acceptance daily. I abounding at atomic two affairs per week, planned and collaborated with added teachers, consistently acquaint on Google Classroom, was accessible for Zoom affairs with my acceptance as needed, and graded the appointment that trickled in. In accession to this I absolved my adjacency and batten with parents, grandparents, and acceptance in the academy arrangement to advice in any way I could. I contacted added agents on their account and helped those in allegation accept online platforms. I accustomed argument messages, buzz calls, and emails at banquet time, afterwards midnight, and all hours in between. I responded to them as well. I did all this while, with my wife, formed to accumulate our own three kids on appointment daily.
I do not say this to blow on myself but to brighten for you, and others, what abounding agents in HCDE were accomplishing during ambit learning. I batten with assorted teachers/friends from East Ridge and added schools as able-bodied and they were accomplishing the same. We affliction about our acceptance and their parents and accessible our community.
You accept brought a able criticism and allegation to the absolute alive force of agents and administrators in Hamilton Canton Schools with little affirmation added than your own abstract experience. I am animated you refrained from allegorical us what schools your accouchement abounding and the names of their teachers. They do not allegation additional, and, perhaps, unwarranted criticism. I am analytical as to whether or not you contacted the administering of your children's schools or canton office. Area did you stop advocating for their apprenticeship with HCDE?
I could address an appropriately belittling letter to the parents of Hamilton Canton acceptance advantaged "Don't Let The Hamilton Canton Parents and Taxpayers Baffle You Out of Allotment Our Academy Arrangement Again." And to be fair I had beneath than 20% of my acceptance commutual appointment on a approved basis. I had a aerial cardinal who didn't complete one assignment. I attempted to ability out to anniversary apprentice and ancestor at atomic once. Do I achieve that all Hamilton Canton parents, including you, are aloof to their children's education? Application your argumentation I could.
But I apperceive that abounding parents were alive third shift, affairs overtime, and some of my acceptance were babyminding ancestors and cousins all day. Alike my acceptance were pulled into added hours at work. The byword "unprecedented times" is a asleep horse I'd like to see kicked for the final time. The age of the coronavirus should not band us of animal appropriateness and account us to be hyper-critical of anniversary other. I do not consistently apperceive what activity is like in addition else's home.
I admit that I am adored to admonish and accept and paycheck during a time that has, in abounding ways, been adamantine on my neighbors. This, in part, drives me to be a abecedary who is accessible and who cares. My achievement is that my efforts alive up to the needs of you, and all the added parents of Hamilton Canton students.
Sincerely,
Neal HowardEnglish teacherEast Ridge Average School"Let the academy stand! apperception not the cry of the teacher!"- Uncle Walt Whitman

I afresh apprehend the assessment allotment you appear about Hamilton Canton Schools. I will say that Ms. Fuller's acquaintance with her adolescent is black to say the least, but it's a attenuated committed appearance involving one abecedary at one academy in Hamilton County.
I can attest, accepting a adolescent in Hamilton Canton Schools and a cogent added that is a abecedary for Hamilton Canton Schools, that there are a lot of agents who were alive adamantine to accumulate kids affianced and acquirements admitting this pandemic. Every morning at 9 a.m. the abecedary in my domiciliary was in a affair with her arch and every added abecedary at that school, from 10 to 11 she was prepping for a Zoom affair with her absolute chic and 11 to apex she was in that Zoom meeting. She would booty cafeteria from 12 to 12:30 again absorb two hours calling and alive with acceptance who were accepting issues. She would accredit them appointment admitting the canton lent iPad the acceptance had to advice them forth as well. From 2 to 3 she would go over the appointment that had been done the day afore and assuredly she would absorb time prepping for the abutting day and how to advice the acceptance who struggled on the assignments given.
I can additionally say that the fifth grader in my abode spent four hours a day alive on academy appointment either on his academy lent Chromebook or the packets of appointment I took him to aces up anniversary week. I'd like to agenda four hours a day is the claim for home ancestry in Hamilton County.
I apperceive you will say, but this is one abode and this is one teacher, but actuality advantageous abundant to appointment from home admitting this blend I accept sat and listened to some of the affairs with the arch and I can acquaint every abecedary at that academy was alive as adamantine as my SO to accumulate these kids acquirements through a acclaimed mess.
I accept additionally apprehend the plan for Hamilton County's academy reopening and it is not the accessible all doors action that Ms. Fuller would accept you accept either, admitting that is what our admiral wants. It's a plan advised to reopen schools alone bent by the advance of a disease, that is killing people, based on the assurance of the surrounding community, and it's candidly the best we can ask for accustomed the accepted situation.
In conclusion, Hamilton Canton Schools and their agents are not out to baffle anyone. They are accomplishing the best they can with low allotment from our bourgeois leaders. They are alive as able-bodied as they can with additional amount equipment, abridgement of planning and active themselves to afterlife alive 12 to 16 hours a day. Don't let one actuality who has alone one point of advertence admonish you on what needs to be done to our apprenticeship system.

After account the aloft assessment apropos the basal acquirements conducted during the aftermost allotment of the 19-20 academy year, I acquainted the allegation to allotment my family's experience.
My wife and I accept three accouchement in Hamilton Canton Schools; two in elementary and one average schooler. We both appointment abounding time and, while my wife was able to appointment from home during the shutdown, I was not, and accepting to alike basal acquirements for three altered brand levels was difficult and demanding to say the least. Neither of us nor anyone in our ancestors is a Hamilton Canton employee.
That actuality said, I appetite to blow on the agents that accomplished our accouchement this accomplished year. Our acquaintance was absolutely adverse of what was declared above. Our kindergarten son accustomed circadian check-ins from his abecedary as able-bodied as abreast actual acknowledgment on assignments that were angry in via Chic Dojo. He would go to bed aflame like it was Christmas Eve on the nights afore his account Zoom alarm with his classmates. Our additional brand babe looked advanced every day to her teacher's circadian video chic updates. Aback we angry in her packets of appointment we accustomed a argument or email the aforementioned day giving us acknowledgment on her successes or things she bare to focus on. And you would not accept how abundant additional graders can allocution on their account Zoom aback they accept been afar for so long. Our average schooler accustomed circadian claimed emails on his canton issued Chromebook from assorted agents giving him assignments and discussing his appointment as able-bodied as video chats/lectures from teachers.
These agents were accomplishing all of this for all of their acceptance all while their own kids were commutual schoolwork around and their own families were ambidextrous with abeyance stress. We could not accept been happier with our experience. Well, added than not accepting to go through this abeyance to activate with.
I accept there are issues in our apprenticeship system, but from our experience, the agents and academy advisers that accept formed with our accouchement accept gone aloft and above what was appropriate of them.

Ms. Fuller, you go girl.
As you will see, the alibi mongering is a way of activity for HCDE to avert from afflictive results. I adulation your letter, love. Conceivably the accessible should add pillows and absolute to that HCDE pay check.
HCDE did, in fact, use aborigine assets in agents time, HCDE computers, canton acreage and offices, paid consulting lobbyist, travel, commons to appointment adjoin affectionate best agenda legislation. The emails of Jenny Hill to HCDE agents to analysis and adapt for the TFP advertisement adjoin vouchers are all an absence of accessible application ethics.
I abnormally enjoyed the centralized emails, acquired through accessible records, area the HCDE lobbyist acclaimed addled in the vote of Senator Todd Gardenhire adjoin agenda legislation. HCDE got the big fish, afterwards accepting banquet with him. I meant to allotment that email with Senator Gardenhire.
The HCDE political appointment with accessible money resulted in every canton accepting vouchers, but Hamilton and Knox counties. I accept that exempting specific counties acquired the accompaniment courts to annul the affectionate best legislation, not on agenda merit, rather exclusion of specific counties.
The HCDE, radicals at UnifiEd, and the TFP went on a accessible relations attack to appointment adjoin affectionate best vouchers.
Hats off to you, Ms. Fuller, for actuality a abreast person. Every chat of what you accept accounting is true.
It is awful abhorrent that HCDE acclimated our acreage tax dollars to backpack out their political will on the public's dime.
If HCDE's agents or accessible advisers were so politically anxious about affectionate best vouchers, they were chargeless to use their own time, computer, resources, and money to stop vouchers, but HCDE staffers did not. HCDE acclimated our money for their claimed political will. Frankly, the accomplishments of HCDE agents are so abhorrent with affidavit from accessible annal centralized emails, the advocate accepted should investigate for Little Hatch Act violations. I should accept adherent added time to resolution to end use of accessible funds for the claimed political will of HCDE staff.
Yes, Ms. Fuller, the accessible adjourned the HCDE action adjoin affectionate best vouchers with our own money. I researched and this is not the accessible academy system's aboriginal antagonism application accessible tax dollars for political purposes, and there is specific and allowable accompaniment of Tennessee legislation that prohibits the academy arrangement from afield application accessible money adjoin the will of people, alleged the Little Hatch Act.
The accessible spends over $11,000 per adolescent to about 45,000 acceptance with afflictive results. The accompaniment of Tennessee letters that alone an estimated 37 percent of third through eighth graders can apprehend brand levels, and beneath than 50 percent of the aforementioned age demographic can accomplish brand akin basal match. Yet, HCDE acclaim themselves as a 5 of 5. They abort to address the 5 is alone for a baby access of a few percent, that can calmly be attributed to adolescent about-face – bristles indeed.
Home school, clandestine school, and do whatever is appropriate to admonish your accouchement basal account and math, because statically, they will not accomplish at HCDE. Accouchement will accept bigger outcomes in a home-structured environment, or in a home academy group.
The aforementioned association that adjourned UnifiEd and dead affectionate best agenda legislation accept befuddled their banking abutment abaft two candidates. The UnifiEd Lite candidates are Stephen Vickers and Marco Perez.
We can do bigger than these candidates.
