[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely agree. Once teachers are all vaccinated they should be doing figure five day a week school. I think they’re just coasting for the rest of the year because it would basically require them to shuffle all of the classes to make dedicated distance-learning teachers. I personally think it’s worth the disruption.   This is especially true for elementary school. Middle and high school is a little trickier.[/quote]

The district doesn't think 10 weeks is worth it. This year is what is in place.[/quote]

But they are wrong.  They should ask the elementary students.[/quote]

I understand the district thinks it isn’t worth it.  Inertia is powerful.

Five day school (with separated out distance learning) would be a lot easier for the teachers (much closer to their normal jobs),  more effective, better for families who are seeking in person. There are definitely drawbacks, especially for those who would stay distance learning - it would disrupt the status quo that some have solved.  I still think it is worth it. It would also be a good practice run for fall. And safer.

I’m not suggesting I think it will happen but I think it would be the right decision

I hate to say this...but it's also because there isn't enough of a buy in from low SES families. Even the open DC schools protest there were no low SES families present. In surveys they are saying DL is fine or they are just not answering.

I really want IPL too, even for 10 weeks but the families at my school are not all participating in the surveys. This is the same thing that's happening at most other schools.[/quote]
