[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a Lafayette family and lots of us started getting calls today for in-person seats. Just accepted for our kids. Sorry to hear this isn't happening everywhere.[/quote]

How big are the class sizes and how many days a week?

That’s a great plan! Makes sense for a huge school like Lafayette. [/quote]

That plan isn’t all too dissimilar from Hearst- the main difference is Lafayette has enough classes and teachers per grade to do that at every grade. Hearst has a smaller staff so is doing that will ELL and SPED rooms instead. It’s 1/2 the day getting live instruction and 1/2 the day in virtual lessons with your teacher. The kids at home are doing 1/2 asynch and 1/2 in virtual live lessons. The plan is very similar. The differences are driven by the amount of staff available.

Lafayette has about 105 staff members and 5-7 classes per grade. 
Hearst has about 60 staff members and 2-3 classes per grade.

You’re comparing apples and oranges here.

A lot on this thread focusing on the 50/50 data point of parents wanting virtual or in person instruction. I’d like to see the data point of how many wanted to stay with their teacher. To make Lafayette’s exact plan happen at Hearst, taking into account available and unavailable staff, teachers would be shuffled across grades and classes. 4-5 would have to stop departmentalization. The majority of Hearst students would have a new teacher and be in a much larger virtual class receiving less individual attention and support and potentially instruction from someone who has never taught that subject or grade before.

To any Hearst teachers who are reading this thread: my family appreciates you and supports you. I know how many additional hours you’ve put in this year. Thank you for doing your best to teach my child. I am sorry for this lack of support and lack of appreciation. I hope and believe that the comments in this thread do not represent all of us parents.
