[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we will be in the concurrent model for most of 2021-22. If we are lucky.[/quote]

Yep, I agree.  I don't see anything that make me think they will change anything from Fall 2021.  In one of the town halls or something I swear I heard Spring 2022 at the earliest.  I have not heard or read it since, but I always keep that in the back of my head.[/quote]

You all don’t think the dropping virus numbers and ramping up a vaccine distribution, to include all teachers, will lead to five days a week?  At least for elementary? Or are you just scared it won’t? (No snark trying to understand)

I do think it will end up being a year with heavy review and teaching of concepts that were cut from the curriculums this year or just not able to be done well this year virtually[/quote]

Concurrent doesn't mean two days in-person. Those are mutually exclusive concepts. We'll almost certainly be back 5 days next fall. The question is what do you do with the parent holdouts.[/quote]

I see what you’re saying. Good point. I will be less than impressed however if it’s five days a week but the kids are still sitting on laptops in the classroom in order to accommodate the kids who stay home.  I’d be fine if the classes were beamed to the kids at home but the kids in the room still had a normal experience (of course with masks and some distancing), there’s no reason they should be staring at laptops all day just because kids at home are.

Pre-COVID my DC's second grade teacher estimated that they would spend 25% of their time on the classroom laptops. It goes up from there. They already are on the laptops for much of the day, just fewer parents noticed before.[/quote]

Sorry--messed up the quoting.

Not at our school. My 5th grader said in 3rd grade they didn't even use the laptops every day and in 4th grade, pre-Covid, they used laptops for an average of an hour a day, but sometimes more and sometimes not at all. Our K-2 did not even have one-to-one devices.[/quote]

I wish that were the case at our school. The big PTA fundraiser for years was to get as many 1-to-1 devices to the school as possible, even pre-FCPSON. I'm sure that was useful for DL, but for regular school it stunk.[/quote]
