[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]80% of schools are back in hybrid or full in person. Yet somehow here we can’t go back all year. Numbers are LOWER in areas that have been full time since August.

You need better news sources.  The absolute worst is the ping-ponging nature of in-person/hybrid/closing that many school systems are going through.  I have friends who are teachers and others who are parents in NY and the fact that the NY state and city leadership can't even follow the metrics that they've announced is driving everyone crazy.  Open a few weeks ago, supposed to close at 9% positivity rate, which they've achieved, but, oh, now they are not sure 9% is enough to close.  They find out more through watching the public news than they get from the school system itself.  This is no way to learn.  The parents and teachers have no idea if school will be in-person, virtual or hybrid.  You can't plan when you have no idea what will happen and the leadership doesn't either.

In many of the largest school districts they are all virtual.  It is a mix but nowhere near 80%.

[quote]In contrast, school systems in Detroit, Boston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and suburban Minneapolis in recent weeks abandoned in-person classes or dropped plans to bring students back because of soaring infections.

[...]

At least four school districts in South Carolina have returned to all-virtual learning. The largest so far, Orangeburg County, sent its 12,000 students home to learn, starting Monday, until at least the end of Christmas break. Nearly a quarter of the state’s districts are teaching in person every day.[/quote][/quote]
