[b]All or nothing. Half days or alternating days or weeks will never happen. [/b]The logistics are impossible to implement on this short notice. Forget quality and effectiveness of DL, just attempting the jumble of logistics will collapse the capacity and budget of schools, the patience of teachers and parents and students, significant learning, parents' personal finances and careers and sanity, and on and on.

If MCPS attempts a convoluted hybrid model with not a single proof-of-concept example to show us, or other cases to highlight where hybrids worked, or even an internal study showing feasibility, and it collapses, there will be a revolt. So it's a political decision. These "leaders" better know they're playing with fire.

The logistics will be a hot mess, but[b] we will absolutely see some type of hybrid in the fall[/b]. At least for MP 1 and I strongly suspect for all of S1 with no announcement about S2 until the last minute to see if a vaccine is both ready and accepted. Even among admin and school-based specialists, there are too many people with cancer, organ transplants, or on immunosuppressive drugs for other reasons. Replacing a few teachers isn’t difficult. Stick a long term sub in and call it day. People like PP won’t care if that sub is someone experienced or a dude who lost his job selling tires. But replacing a principal or speech pathologist is going to be harder. Plus, half the MS security in MCPS are older AA men who have great rapport with the kids, but not great personal health. A lot of diabetes. [/quote]

People who are certain about what's going to happen in the fall are fooling themselves.[/quote]
