My guess is the ones who selected virtual and then wanted everyone to be virtual because of FOMO are the ones who need the patience.

they got their way for seven months.

So you think schools should have never closed? GMAFB.

2 weeks to flatten the curve remember?

NP. The parents who selected virtual seem like a fairly patient group. I'm personally worried about the parents who have been attacking teachers for being lazy all year and expect hybrid to be just like pre-covid school. They are going to have a fit when they hear about all the spacing, lack of movement and limited interaction with others. And who will they blame? The teachers. Not the pandemic, not the decision-makers, but the teachers.

I unfortunately agree. That’s already happening- see the “manipulatives” thread.

It would be helpful if the teachers banded with the parents to reduce distancing if masks are worn (cdc says that), get kids back in the classroom, but no teachers are about wfh in their pjs

Yeah and now 500k people are dead. In under a year. So.

Stop blaming teachers. Some/many may agree that this is overly strict, but they need to focus on how to educate our students in hybrid and concurrent models respectively. For those teaching concurrent, it means even more work and planning. They likely don't have the bandwidth to push back against the people who pay their salaries.

I had the same thought when I read the "manipulatives" thread. You can already see the hysteria building. They are so insistent that they just cannot adapt to any changes. It is really very sad.

When I read the "manipulatives" thread all I could do was feel sorry for the kids of those moms. Can you imagine being a kid in a household like that where mommy is so rigid and intractable? Even being able to get out of the house to go to school won't be a relief for those kids because their mommies will be playing 20 million questions when they get home. Those kids are going to have a lot of social-emotional issues as they grow, if they don't already. Yikes.

You’ve got that right! That must be so stressful for that kid(s). Some parents literally want to control everything that happens at school, and it’s so unhealthy.

We picked hybrid. I have no complaints of anyone, low expectations; but suspect we will be happy with in person experience. Our young kindergartener needs the variety of in person with what’s happening virtually. Excited for her. And prepared for changes. No issues here.

Along with virtual. Have been happy with virtual teachers, the medium is challenging for her though. The steadiness of a classroom will be helpful. Bonus being she has no idea what it’s “supposed” to look like so will not register it’s different. We’re lucky in that regard!

Could we just try to get kids into the building before you start demanding more? You are the problem.

We were naive and hopeful. Oh my goodness I can’t imagine having all the kids in school at one we were first trying to figure out how to be safe those first few months. It’s not been so long I forgotten how scary that was. Maybe think about that before complaining here. Everything we’re doing right now is a first.

Admittedly, a virtual parent who may not have much patience. I have zero issue with the hybrid option beginning, but concurrent is going to be messy for everyone. We chose virtual last October when there was no vaccine, cases were expected to rise, and the virtual classes would be self contained and have more consistency. Concurrent plus the vaccine changes all that, but figuring it out is going to really disrupt everyone both short-term and potentially disadvantage concurrent children unless teachers are really conscious about it and have the tools to engage both groups equally. They already have lost a ton of instruction time last week and then this fall, I won't have a ton of patience if we spend two weeks disrupting class schedules while they get hybrid kids into school on time, in and out of recess, and so on.

Not mad at the teachers at all, total patience with them, but the administration will hear from us.
