[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One day a week is better than none. Labs, presentations, q&a  - much better in person.[/quote]

yes, but if you're doing this with 25% of the class on each of the 4 days, what is the other 75% of the class doing on each of these days???
Who is teaching them at home?
Are they just doing homework?

Yeah, that's my question too. I would prefer five days of in-person school, of course, but ... if it's ONE day of in-person school with no social stuff (no recess, lunch in the classroom, no after school activities) plus four days of working on homework/tests/whatever, then I'd rather have five days where they're actually SEEING their teachers and interacting with them. Maybe it makes sense for high school - as the parent of a middle-schooler, I felt that language learning and science class were probably the least suited to distance learning, but they aren't really doing big time lab work in 6th-7th grade. (though they were doing some fun experiments! I'm trying to supplement that a little bit at home with some science kits and lots and lots of NOVA but it isn't the same of course.)
