I am also unhappy with the curriculum this 2nd semester. Connexus was like college courses and I had had enough of my granddaughter sitting at a computer 7-8 hours a day and still behind, working week ends too! When they changed to Canvas, I couldn’t be happier. My child actually did not hate school anymore
This 2nd semester seems almost identical to Connexus and I don’t hear the “I don’t hate school” anymore. Back to square one. The teachers are great! But there are just too many quizzes, tests and assignments every day, after sitting through classes all day.

I totally agree with the PSSA testing. For me to VIEW the test in Harrisburg, to opt out is 215 miles from me . Even the test site is over an hour away at the Crack of dawn. The 1st year at Reach, we went to the test site. I’m estimating 100 children there. We contacted Covid19. I am older, so my daughter, not only sick, was scared to death. The next year, she said we weren’t going, period. She’s the mother which gives her the final say in our home. That, and we are against these tests. The state wants results? Go back to 4th grade Math and use the Mean, Median and Mode numbers of progress reports and you’ll get your averages.
