[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Agree. The subtext is that disadvantaged kids are disproportionately staying virtual so there’s no incentive to try to provide more than 2 days in person for hybrid right now.[/quote]

I don't get this view.  Half of ELL and disadvantaged elementary students are in hybrid. Presumably those are the kids who were struggling the most with DL.  Why not offer them more days?  The kids who are happy to keep DL can do so.  What more privileged students choose shouldn't matter.  [/quote]

I think TT addressed this. A lot of the families have made childcare and transportation arrangements around the current Hybrid set-up. It would be very difficult for them to change at this point in the year. That was how I understood what she was saying.[/quote]

Ok great. So they can continue to stay hybrid and the families who would like more in-person days should be able to get that as well. No one is forcing these people back in the classroom. But they’re trying to stop my kindergartner (who hates Teams meetings and is struggling with class on an iPad) from getting more in-person instruction. So yeah, I see my kid struggling and I’m going to send emails to the SB pushing for more reopening at least for the younger kids. Why are these other families’ preferences standing in the way of more in-person days for my 6 year old? [/quote]

Exactly - we need to flood Duran and the SB drilling home this point. The folks that aren't comfortable with sending their kids to school full-time have an option.. everyone else does not. [/quote]
