[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just watched.  I totally disagree with the guy saying that the movement of teens from hybrid to virtual is because of the instructional model.  It’s because their parents are allowing them to do so, plain and simple.  Some of these people need to take responsibility for what’s happening with their children’s learning.  If you let your kid get away with whatever, you can’t expect APS to fix that.  Some people need to say no to their kids. [/quote]

I think they mainly switch back to virtual because their friends aren't in-person and because there are so few classmates in the classroom with them, and because there are still teachers teaching remotely so the students are going to school to learn online.

I don't really understand the "my friends aren't there" excuse.  Are their friends with them when they're logged in from home?  What's the difference?  Nevertheless, I really feel fewer would have reverted to virtual if there were a substantial # of students actually attending in-person.  Individual school stats could shed some light on the real "why's" at each school.[/quote]

They don’t know. They haven’t asked. At least at our HS. I doubt they really want to know why. Or frankly care. [/quote]

I don’t care.  In-person instruction has been offered to them, and now they’re not going because they don’t like it?!  Nope.  I don’t care.  Give their seats to families that want them, four days a week.  That is exactly what is happening at our high school.  I don’t need to know why your special snowflake doesn’t like it.  [/quote]
