[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Open schools. Have families sign waivers. Offer a full time DL option for families who want it. I’m not at all convinced that the part time options they floated in the survey will diminish risk of the virus. I’d rather my children get back to their five day routine. [/quote]

This.  This is the only viable option. Every district across the country should be doing this. Done. [/quote]

Yes, and decide this now so that teachers can prepare for one or the other. If a decision isn’t made until August, the dL curriculum will be awful. -WOTP teacher[/quote]

Are you really a teacher and have you been participating in PD this week? Every single webinar revolves around DL. DCPS is building a DC curriculum and readying Canvas for online learning. You should 100% be preparing for hybrid learning.

Besides, if you look at the models and listen to any of the forecasting for the fall, this virus will again ramp up late summer into the cooler months. It is entirely likely we will repeat the March-June scenario at the beginning mid-October. This is the new reality until a vaccine is discovered and herd immunity is reached.[/quote]

Yes, I’m a teacher. I’ve taught in DC for 12 years.  However, there will be a HUGE difference in what my lessons look like with 1 day a week vs 2 days a week vs 1 week in person every third week. If I don’t know how often I see kids in person, there’s no reason to plan right now.  My subject doesn’t get a curriculum from downtown so it’s all on us. I need lead time. [/quote]

The unknowns mean I'm not doing any planning right now.  And it also means the DCPS PD, though well intentioned, is totally vague and not useful.[/quote]
