Barts has been pretty clear she does not think 6-12 should go back at all, at any point this school year.

Easy for her to say as her kids have been going to in-person school, camps, etc. all along. She sucks.

She said her kids are DL for the year

She has one 6th grade daughter (and a college student.) The daughter does sports and other extracurriculars.

Really weird you know that.

Why? It wasn’t internet sleuthing. She blabs all about it.

As a teacher I think this is what should happen. Rushing in Q3 seems pointless and chaotic in the current context. Q4 would be a way better plan because numbers will drop into spring and vaccines will have been administered to teachers and staff.

You understand that many of the ES’s had zero or 1 cases? Making them wait for Q4 is absurd.

Of course--we can read the table on the LCPS website. But there's hardly been anyone in the schools since March.

All ES’s had kids in them from early Oct to mid Dec. Many with zero cases or isolated cases.

K-2. That’s it. 3-5 made it in for 4 days. It’s not a representative sample.

It worked great for over 2 months. No outbreaks. And sending 3-5 back to virtual was not the result of any outbreak but instead vague community metrics. You have NO PROOF that mitigation doesn’t work if you never let them go back. Convenient. You can make these baseless claims and then we can’t prove otherwise. Go back to Beth Barts group.

It was largely organizational and informational. Voting will happen at the next meeting.

Hybrid teachers go back 1/12.

I beg to differ. There is no hybrid at all. In LCPS at least. It’s concurrent instruction.

That being said, teachers report to brick and mortar school to begin planning for concurrent instruction which is supposed to start on 1/21. But, we know that won’t happen. Based on the metrics set forth.

Concurrent instruction is ridiculous and pointless. We need to get these kids back into a as-close-to-normal school setting.

She happily sends her kids into school (college), activities, etc. as she holds all of our kids out of school......

Hybrid refers to how often you go. It’s not full time, it’s half at school and half at home. Concurrent is a method of instruction. It is both.

LCPS calls all students who chose 2x a week in person “hybrid students.” Like, for my 7th grader, the box I selected in ParentVUE said “hybrid learning.” Also, ES is not concurrent. You don’t sound like you are in Loudoun.

Nah they are. Some people just don’t understand that hybrid isn’t necessarily concurrent but concurrent IS hybrid

The definition of hybrid is a mixture of two things. So hybrid learning mixes in person learning and online learning. That is all. It can come in many varieties.

Staff no longer has to report to do DL in buildings 1/12 which is a relief but I am still thinking the board shifts to school metrics and adopts hybrid opening starting in January at next weeks meeting. If they stick with community metrics; I think calling staff in the first day after a metric drops is fine since if it drops 5 more straight days that’s when kids come in. We don’t need to be there weeks and weeks before getting needlessly exposed and then being short handed on staff when it’s time for the kids to come in. 5 days in advance is plenty, there’s not much we need to do to prepare for them anyway

Where does it say we no longer have to go to school next Tuesday 1/12?
