In my district, it is not ideal, yet it is better than I expected.
The Junior high is sending out independent assignments where it makes sense - math, mostly, as there is existing online cirriculum with automated scoring. For English, they are reading books, then getting on a Zoom call with the whole class to discuss it. There are some ongoing Zoom calls to talk as a class. They are probably only covering half as much as they did while in the school building, but the topics they do cover are working well.
The elementary schools are varied - they are covering more topics, at a shallower level. Mostly, they are handing out online assignments and independent projects to do, and the kids are reporting back to the teachers. One of my kids' teacher is recording video each day to talk the kids through the daily plan and give them some encouragement.
Is this all perfect? No. But to go from in-classroom teaching to online with only 2 days to plan... I think they are doing fine.
Same here. I expected a chaotic uncoordinated scramble, but it turns out at least in our district, the teachers and school leadership are reasonably prepared. We got packets of assignments, hardcopies and E-mailed, and they managed to do a class-wide videoconference the first time with no visible technical screw-ups.
The biggest failure/bottleneck turns out to be my ability to make time to schedule homeschooling, due to needing to work normal office hours.
