APS School Board Mary Kadera's classroom maps for RTS are strange

[Anonymous]

Mary Kadera, who is running for the Democratic nomination for school board in Arlington, released the following:

I'm really struggling to understand her logic. First of all, it seems like the bubbles she is drawing are the wrong size. I believe each square is one foot, so her "6-ft bubbles" are really 9 ft across, and her "3-ft bubbles" are really 7-ft across. I think this is because she is leaving extra space in the middle for the student, but that doesn't make sense, because you are supposed to take into account nose-to-nose, not shoulder to shoulder.

She's also left a ton of trapped space in her diagrams. This can (and should!) be done a lot better. Here's a good Wired article I found that is much smarter about this:

She also clearly doesn't understand APS at all if she thinks that when we do re-open for in-person classes are going to be 20% smaller because a portion of students remain virtual. Those missing students are with their virtual teacher. The classes that come in-person are going to need to be at 100% capacity.

I am not impressed with this.

Already a discussion, albeit a poorly-titled one.
