[quote=Anonymous]I think for lower ES the goal should be full DL classes where possible and concurrent for the kids going in person and in situations where it wasn't possible to separate in-person and DL students (e.g. immersion programs, any AAPs that couldn't make it work, any schools that didn't already split and would require massive teacher rearrangements etc). Try to minimize teacher changes where possible unless parents prefer it to access a full DL teacher or to access in person instruction (e.g. for schools that did split if a parent changes their mind, I can't imagine them running a class with say 1-2 kids in person with the rest of the class at home).

As a full DL parent I do have concerns that the concurrent plan would mean my kids are gettig substandard education because the new plan includes a full day in person with the sample schedule including a 1hr block of afternoon activities where a lot of K-2 in this area have seemed to drop that to doing nothing or a small 15 min "assignment".  It works for DL but for in person they'll obviously be doing something so what are the kids at home full time missing out on? As FCPS moves to put more emphasis on teacher recommendations for AAP programs will the kids at home be out of luck because the teachers don't even actually know them and barely get to see the work they're capable of? Maybe you want to call that FOMO but to me it's more of my kids being hurt by the system and me having concerns about that. I can handle them asking questions about why some kids get to do things we aren't doing because that already comes up via morning meeting when some kids share travel plans or going out to eat and we aren't doing those things.
