[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these reasons seem really good, others seem less good.  What does it mean to "go against" a dual language program?  Sorry but I don't think dual language is a priority at the moment, if the kids miss out on a year of Spanish that's fine.  Most kids don't get any dual language at all so wah.[/quote]

HVAC upgrades and testing requirements? Yes. Sacrifice in-person school because it doesn’t meet expectations around language immersion? Eh.

Also, nothing on this list about getting medical staff assigned to schools or ensuring all schools have a separate room for symptomatic kids.

And the stuff about teachers being asked to teach grades/subjects outside their expertise— I don’t understand. If a school has only one in-person class per grade, why would there be a shortage of teachers for in-person class? Or if these teachers are being called in for CARES classrooms, I get that it’s not ideal, but that’s really not the same as being forced to teach something. You’re just babysitting those classes and facilitating DL. If there are MS or HS teachers who currently don’t have work (perhaps because they teach specials that can’t be done via DL), what is the harm in moving them to CARES classrooms? It provides a useful service while ensuring that teacher keeps their salary. Seems ok?[/quote]
