[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear what you are saying, and agree that the model is not ideal, but there are benefits to having some in-person interaction with teachers. This is the easiest way of doing it, and allows classes to stay together and with their current teachers. There really isn't any other choice.

This is the model that private schools have been using, although private schools have cameras rather than having the teachers use the laptops. Cameras allow teachers to be more active in the classroom. My kids use this model at their private school, and although it has some drawbacks, including the fact that the teachers are on camera wearing masks, my kids feel that the in person interaction is worth it.  There's a connection that comes from learning in person that just isn't possible in DL. In addition, this model avoids penalizing any student for staying home, making it more likely that families will keep any child experiencing any COVID-like symptoms home. [/quote]

This is reassuring, thanks.
Evidently we have to make a decision by 10/15, and I'm just not sure we'll have all the info needed.
The two most pressing questions to me are  1.  What do the in person kids do for the two hour mid day break?  and 2.  What do kids who still haven't received chromebooks do (there's no way I'm sending my 8 year old in to school with my personal laptop)

Then there's just the general questions about enforcing mask compliance, actions if there's a positive case, etc., etc.  But mostly I'm concerned about that two hour break.[/quote]
