[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I 100% agree the virtual should be separate but I don't think one should ever say "well you always had this crap option before so that is what you should get now." We should always be looking looking at ways to improve education for vulnerable students and this includes medical vulnerability.

Again I 100% dont think there should be concurrent teacher but see no problem with working to develop a robust separate virtual or traveling homebound teachers. [/quote]

What about Virtual Virginia, though?  Doesn’t it already exist?[/quote]

DP. The online charter schools/online public schools usually get good reviews from parents BUT - they are basically parent-led homeschooling with a curriculum and materials provided to the families. So it requires a lot of parental involvement and families have to apply and be accepted and agree to support their kids’ schooling. Districts are very reluctant to push families into Virtual Virginia because of the parental involvement. It’s very different than the school’s distance learning which is live with a teacher on Google Meets (or whatever each district uses).

They could create a centralized distance learning option, however, that would be county-wide. Some parents wouldn’t like that because their students wouldn’t necessarily get a teacher/classmates from their base school, but it seems the fairest way to do things at this point. The in person kids get a live, in person education with a real teacher in class, not a monitor; and the online kids get the same with a dedicated online teacher. [/quote]
