Independent school - unhappy with quality of remote learning

What will happen to the teachers if schools have to reduce the fees? They don’t get paid well as it is. I’m sure the quality/quantity of teaching will improve as everyone adjusts but they need to be kept in the job.

We're at a prep. We have an assembly every day (kind of pointless but actually nice as they show photos of what everyone's up to and do hymns and stuff). They have four lessons through out the day one hours each. It's stuff to be done and handed in which then gets marked but the teacher is available on the google class room to answer questions if they get stuck.

I sit next to my child during lessons. The majority are using Google classroom and meeting. It's very interactive and calm, without too much pressure. This is important, I feel, until the children adapt to this style of learning and discipline.
It's very interesting to observe the different teacher's styles and the content and tools which our children use. So different to my school days. Much more stimulating and far more focus on thinking for themselves than learning by rote.
I'm impressed by the way the children and teachers have adapted so quickly but they have used chrome books since Y7 so perhaps this has been helpful.
Ten percent fee reduction - although many parents have opted not to take the offer and to support the school during this period.
Full daily timetable including assemblies and tutor time.
No complaints here.

Daily registration. Mix online and offline lessons / work set in each subject. Some teachers have their own children at home or other caring responsibilities so are doing less online and just setting work which is fair enough. My employer is cutting me a lot of slack as I try and Home Ed / constantly supervise a child. Not everyone will be available to do their usual work uninterrupted.

Our school has got a full timetable, the only thing they are 'missing' is tutor periods and the RE (not doing as a GCSE). Even PE/Games has work to do. I think our school has done a really good job, the teachers are all in the lesson going through topics. Some are doing the odd test but going through it when they've completed it. We have a 10% reduction as well.

I have one in state Primary (Y5) and one in state Secondary (Y8). Both have full timetables, weekly calls with their form tutors and teachers on hand for every subject to answer questions etc. This has been in place since day 1. I am incredibly impressed with how they have handled it all. Have you been happy with the school previously?

As with stunt we are teaching full timetable via teams ‘live’. Bigger discount too!

That's poor. Our school is giving a 43% reduction and is following the normal school timetable with all lessons delivered digitally via Teams including sessions like school chapel, assembly, exercise (yoga, HIIT etc) and optional counselling.

What age group? I'm guessing quite young

Also, as term has only just begun, are you sure what you have seen in last 24 hours is representative of everything that will,be set over the coming weeks!

Well we are state school but for comparison
Using Microsoft teams, each subject is setting work. DD in year 7 has had 4 maths worksheets this week - all 4 pages long to be completed by Friday.
No live or online lessons as such but has work set or use of apps for all thier subjects and frequency seems to be similar to how many lessons a week they normally have.

Is this primary or secondary?
My child’s independent secondary have a full full timetable with proper remote learning set up. But if this is primary age then I would be happy with what you describe. Children of this age need emotional support more than academic learning in this difficult time. And the school will still have overheads and staff to pay so I think any kind of reduction, even 10%, is fair. Our school haven’t given any reduction but they have held off a fee increase for next year.
