Our center school is over capacity and our base is below capacity so I wonder if my kids would get asked to move back to base. That said, there’s no LLIV at our base. If all the kids from our neighborhood had to move back to the base I guess I would be ok with it. Idk how likely that is. |
Our center and base are both 9:20 so would both move to 10:05. I would consider driving my child instead of busing, possibly depending how the bus is and certainly if needed. Also wondering that nothing addresses specifically if there will definitely be in-person AAP classes (versus just mixed gen ed). |
Where can I see the info about the new times? I missed this aspect. |
| We choose DL due to health concern. Safety comes first and everything else can wait. It’s hard for kids to keep social distance and wear face mask all day long, doesn’t matter how many people will be in school, if one is infected with COVID19 then it will spread to many others, then the whole school will shut down. We don’t wait to take the risk. People say kids are low risk, but who really know about the virus? We don’t even have a cure yet. It spreads easily causes high death rate and those survived may still suffer life long heath issues. At least wait after COVID-19 vaccine comes out we will feel more comfortable to send kids to school. Distance learning has its drawbacks but it’s not that bad neither. Our rising 3rd grader was in advanced math will be in 3rd grade AAP did fine with DL, we parents had to spend time to assist at home like we’ve been doing with our kids for years, it’s more work these days but if the whole family can be together safely survive through the pandemic it’s not too bad. |
I have no problem with this. Means my kid will get more time in person with the teacher. Actually, hoping more parents pick DL so those of us that are willing to send kids back will be able to score more days of in person teaching. |
+1 Additionally, I have noticed that DL has benefited my child more, less interruptions and distractions from classmates, classroom is more controlled and she seems more focus. |
| There are already at least 2 other threads on this. |
In the PowerPoint on BoardDocs under the 6/23 meeting. Our center is having a Q&A about fall next week - maybe other schools will follow? |
This would not make any sense. Why would they do this. Centers would be underenrolled and and non centers would be overcrowded. |
| What are they going to do when they don't have enough teachers for in person learning? |
I would think there will be more teachers who WANT to teach DL vs. students who want to DL. All teachers can request to be a DL teacher by the same deadline (7/1), but assignment will be based on personal health/family health issue and then preference. It seems like most families want in person option, so DL might be a very small group... |
If more teachers request distance learning than are needed, they seem to be having a priority system for those with health risks to get first dibs. |
| HS student. We're going with DL. |
| ^^forgot to add the reason, which is safety and also that in person under these conditions sounds like a miserable experience. |

In person. My husband and I are both teachers so we have to go to work. I can't afford full time care for my kids so sending them to school two days means I'll only have to cobble together 3 days of babysitting.
I'll apply for a virtual position but with no documented medical need, doubt I'll get one. |
