Concurrent goes from failing kids who have issues engaging via DL, to failing all students. It literally only helps by providing child care for those who are desperate. It is absolutely worse for all from an education perspective. |
OPEN SCHOOLS NOW!

You do know this wasn't the decision of teachers- this is what teachers wanted to avoid more than anything- it's an awful model. |
I should’ve explained better what I was really asking. Will distance-learning kids be watching a masked teacher in the classroom 4 days a week or two? (Eg teacher in the classroom two days and teaching as they do now virtually two days ). I understand the teacher will be teaching no matter what how are from where four days a week. |
I believe teacher is in school 4 days a week. |

Ok. Color me confused, but, how does this line up with the teachers receiving vaccinations? Wasn't ahem, the point of that, so they could safely return to the classroom? Why now this latest concurrent pivot? My ten months of COVID brain is tired. So, apologies if I am missing the obvious, but, I thought that the vaccine prioritization would theoretically help to smooth over the safety in the classroom for teachers concerns............ |
We don't have enough teachers to cover both virtual and in person because you can only have a certain amount of kids in the building at a time. Nothing to do with vacc. |
Vaccinating teachers only protects teachers. Students still need to distance from each other. |
The number of days the teacher is teaching hybrid students from school depends on the number of hybrid students and the classroom capacity. At some schools it might be that the Hybrid group can all be seen at school in a single 2-day period and then the other 2 days all would be virtual. But it would depend on the size of the group and the capacity of the classroom space with distancing. |
Can't they adjust and have kids 3 feet apart (wearing masks) instead of 6 feet apart and then have kids there 4 days a week? For kids doing DL they could be taught separately by teachers who are not coming back in person. Or at least buy some cameras/tripods and let the teacher move around while the aide monitors Qs from the kids who are still at home. The current plan sounds like a disaster. And if they couldn't hire enough aides, they should pay them more -- that typically fixes that type of problem. |
Shouldn't they have known this back in, say, September?? It's not like we just lost a ton of staff. WTF is going on? How can they possibly make this process any worse?? It's mind boggling. |

I will still march my son into this freakshow as a hybrid student. It's still marginally better than the status quo.

They’ve known this since the hybrid surveys came out in the fall… 😡 |
