“We” told who? Who are you and who do you think you’re talking to?

Given that this virus is almost exclusively airborne, banning manipulatives is anti-science and absurd, whether you acknowledge that or not. The “any single thing” that can compromise safety is bringing kids back in the buildings, so try again.

We as in teachers . We told you and told you concurrent was not normal school . For some reason people felt that was us trying to “scare” you into not picking it. It wasn’t, but you still didn’t want to listen and see now shocked at what concurrent is.

Rules lile this seem intended to hurt students because teachers are pissed. You should be ashamed. This rule is not based on science and does nothing to reduce risk. It just make schools and teachers look uninformed and vindictive.

PP, its the principals and superintendents who are setting these rules not teachers. You’re putting teachers in impossible position. It’s very unfortunate that the principals within Arlington County have implemented such vastly different rules across the schools. Even before returning in person, some schools are handing out packets of work for kids while others weren’t. Some are handing out math manipulatives some were not. Some were providing pre-recorded videos lessons that kids could watch again later if they didn’t understand, others weren’t Where was your outrage then? The truth is the Arlington county schools Engage website has been saying how this would be different since last summer. People either didn’t read it or didn’t want to believe it or had false hope the plan would evolve. Now the facts are right in front of us and people are upset and directing that anger toward teachers. Misguided. Call your principals, email the superintendent.

That’s literally not what my comment said. It said we told you concurrent was not normal school. Why? Because there’s lots of safety policies like this that the DISTRICT created. You don’t have to like them all. I don’t. I think the desk shields in particular are stupid. I have no more say than you. It’s the cost of schools feeling like they can do in person school in a pandemic. Again, grow up.

This isn't a safety policy. It's safety theater. I'm 100% fine with steps that keep teachers safe. I even have spent a lot of time advocating to make things safer for teachers. I hope teachers are pushing back on stupid rules for the sake of their students. As far as I can tell teachers are only advocating for themselves. Hence, virtual PE at their desks desks 5 yos with no movement or manipulatives.

I just can’t believe the amount of time people have on their hands. This is not a big deal, because it’s just not. If you want to dictate and micromanage everything that happens at your child’s school, I recommend private.

I am sure teachers will. Maybe just stay in your lane?

We can push back but it doesn’t mean it changes. Quit blaming teachers for all the ways your life isn’t perfect in a pandemic. God.

I think the PP should accept that this is a fluid situation. It seems logical and reasonable to me that they’d start off strict, and adjust as things improve. Has PP considered that your kid may have to quarantine at any point? THAT is what I’d me more interested in discussing and learning about.
