Can you summarize this? Is this where they sit in a classroom with a screen instead of a teacher? I didn’t pay attention to how it was described because I didn’t think it applied to my kids



They will either sit in a room with a DL teacher on a screen, or they will sit in a room with a masked teacher who is teaching DL and a live class at the same time. This means the teacher will not be able to move around the room to help any students, because the DL kids will need to be able to see what's happening. Meanwhile, students who are DL will not be able to see the teacher's face, because they will be wearing a mask.




It better not be this! That’s not fair to the DL kids AT ALL. Teacher should be remote for all of them and unmasked.


AYFKM? Nothing about this situation is “fair” to anyone? Students whose families elected hybrid should be wholly deprived of that just so your kid doesn’t have to see their teacher in a mask twice a week?

The students who selected hybrid also will be "wholy deprived" of any physical interaction with the teacher. The teacher will have to stay at their desk, or standing in the same spot the entire time, so that DL students can see what she's doing, too. She cannot walk over a desk--less than 6 feet anyway. She will not be able to offer any additional guidance to those who are there, so there is absolutely no advantage to being there in person. Meanwhile, the teacher will have to stop to discipline people in the room now, those not wearing masks, those talking to others, etc., so everything will be slower and harder to follow.

Hope you're happy now!

Honestly most of this could have been avoided if people didn't get so hysterical about the idea of having a teacher from another school. Both parents and staff were guilty of this. If they could have moved teachers around for this year we would have been able to have DL teachers and school-based teachers.



Thanks for blaming teachers. Teachers were never asked for any input on these plans and we were told we might be given different locations if needed so I don’t see how the responsibility lies there. We are in a global pandemic and conditions change rapidly.


PP. I am an APS teacher.

Some APS teachers were not asked for any input or even told they might be moved to another location. The communication with teachers has been extremely poor.

The preference survey went to all staff so I am not sure what your are referring to. I know that being moved sucks, it has happened to me. APS does not guarantee placement at a school as enrollment needs change. Creating a pool of distance teachers and shuffling in-person teachers could have been a way to actually give the largest amount of teachers and families their preference. I think the major pushback for the idea of moving teachers around was from families, but there were some vocal teachers as well.

We are well aware of that. For us, it is still preferable to what's happening now. That we made a different choice does not mean we don't have the same information you do, so please stop arrogantly assuming that anyone with a different opinion is just ignorant.

Oh, we know. You just need your kids out of your hair. Not sure why it’s the teachers’ job to provide your free childcare.
