[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's true that 3-5 would go back after 6-12, I think that kind of makes sense. Kids in 3-5 are old enough to mostly get a lot out of distance learning, and they don't have the academic needs older kids do, if that makes sense. Like, if they miss out on a bunch of instruction, they have a long time to make up for it, whereas older kids don't.

I have a sixth grader and a third grader, and as much as I want them to go back (I signed both up for hybrid) I am much more concerned about my sixth grader than my third grader.  [/quote]

You concerned socially or academically? I am concerned about 6-12 switching classes and having significantly more exposures...Also, transmitting COVID like adults.[/quote]

I am concerned for my sixth-grader academically (she is doing okay socially thanks to masked outdoor activities and FaceTime). She might get behind in math and writing skills and (as I'm sure you know) she is at the point where those are becoming really important because older grades assume competency from younger grades.

I am definitely concerned with exposure, and it is surprising to me that they would prioritize the older kids for going back. But it does make sense when you're looking it from a holistic perspective. I signed my kids up for hybrid after it looked like APS was going to be really strict with the metrics. I will reassess if they send them back when it looks more dangerous (I have heard that going from hybrid to distance is probably workable). [/quote]
