[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two very vocal groups of opposing parents—half want to shut it down and half want to stay in school no matter what the metrics say (like they’re doing in Europe and Canada...and much of the US). Doubt they’ll even get the next round of kids back next week since so many parents are now against it with rising cases. I think they’re doing a great job and we should keep the kids in school.[/quote]

Are there actually parents opposing it?  I thought 80% of parents wanted their kids back in school?  Cases in fcc are at 0. [/quote]

Falls Church is very small, approximately two square miles. That’s like saying there are not any cases on your block so you don’t need to worry about the rising cases all around you. Many students are are in activities outside of Falls Church City and most staff live elsewhere.

They can choose to stay virtual and are teaching concurrently. My children are not back yet and plan to be in the hybrid program in January. I hope it’s successful but right now they have interaction in all classes. The hybrid program sounds like a teacher splitting time with in person students and some watching from home the other two days. They say it can be interactive but I am skeptical. There is only so much we can expect a teacher to do while teaching two groups at once.  I am not sure going back two days a week will be better than what they have now.  [/quote]

I have a middle schooler and being in school at all will be better than virtual. Virtual is fine and is going well...but kids (at least my kid) is just done. I hope the numbers start to improve (or show that it doesn’t spread in school with the precautions they are taking) and they can go back in January.

For the parents that are opposed / can’t they just select virtual? That leaves even fewer kids at school which is better, safety-wise. [/quote]
