[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]

My 1st grader is slated to start the hybrid program  next week and really hoping that plans are not derailed by a vocal minority. The problem is that with the current plan for teachers to concurrently teach the virtual and in person students simultaneously it’s hard to envision a scenario where the virtual learners aren’t at a disadvantage/feel left out with the majority of their classmates in the classroom on a daily basis so it gives added incentive to those opting out of hybrid to push to maintain the status quo. I really wish FCC had stuck with their original plan to offer the hybrid model only, with virtual Virginia as the alternative.[/quote]
