Remember the guidelines say than 3 feet while in the classroom BUT 6 ft is required anytime the kids are unmasked. In some schools there are 18 to 20 kids per class that chose hybrid. The classrooms cannot accommodate 6 foot spacing while eating unmasked. Nor can the cafeterias handle that spacing. The only way to get around this is to spend money on a large quantity of tents- which are all apparently on back order. Not trying to be negative Nelly but it is a true hurdle

At our school, unless it is raining, the kids are sitting outside for lunch (elementary), they can easily keep the 6ft distance even if there are more kids in the class.  They are just being lazy and don't want to rethink things.[/quote]

Hello genius, you still need a plan for rainy days. [/quote]

Half the class on the classroom, half the class sitting on the floor in the hallways. Not ideal, but [b]we are in a pandemi[/b]c and the kids need an education. [/quote]

We are in a pandemic.  We all want our kids back in school, back to normal.  And yes APS could have done a better job this past year.  But I am certain no one at APS is going out of their way to destroy kids lives.  I thought Duran's discussion of the challenges of 5x a week made sense: bus routes, lunch and rejiggering of classes would in fact be huge issues...and by the time they figured it out there would be what, six weeks of school left?  Agree that any school is good school but lots of kids can't adjust to that many changes.  We are in a pandemic.  Everyone is doing the best they can based on the best information they have.  [b]They are committing to 5x a week school in the fall.[/b]  And I 100 percent expect that to happen.[/quote]

Where have they committed to 5 days a week in the fall??  They haven't.  They will strive for 5 days, but we know what that means.  If they can't do it now, fall does not look good for 5 day.

I say this as someone who has a graduating senior so I don't care but you're in lala land if you think 5 days in the fall is definite.  You give the school board WAY too much credit.  [/quote]

Are you the same person that keeps posting old info without reading through or listening to the school board meeting? Its right here. What do you want him to pinky promise you?

IDGAF what he does.  Remaining kid is graduating so none of this matters to me.  We've been APS long enough that I know how things tend to go.  I just think you're kidding yourself if you think they can figure out 5 days for the fall.  And no, I don't read any of the BS the school board puts out.  We've written of this year so none of it matters to me.  But keep on believing![/quote]
