[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t bother me at all. Kids who can’t make it need access to the class. -Parent of 3rd grader[/quote]

Why can't they make it?  Did they miss the bus

For my kid it will be because she’s 5 and has working parents. [/quote]

What did you do LAST year when she was 4 and had two working parents?  That is what you do this year OR you put in childcare that has the learning pods for K.

I mean what is your plan?  Work all day while your 5yr old does ??? and then at 6pm watch school videos when you are all exhausted.    Give me a break[/quote]

Do you understand that there are five year olds with two essential parents who can’t afford a pod or babysitter in this county? Check your privileges. -DP[/quote]

Then what is the child doing all day that they can not be online? Sitting in a closet somewhere?!? [/quote]

It's a diverse county.  There will be kids in a lot of different situations. Like on snow days, I imagine some children will end up going to work with a parent.  Internet access won't necessarily be available.  Other kids will be at daycares or babysitters.  Again, internet access might not be available, and even if it is, it might not be possible for the provider to supervise the other children while simultaneously staying near a student that's doing online classes (e.g., if others are doing outdoor activities).  And even if that's not a problem, young children might not have sufficient support from caregivers to get online and deal with technical issues.

I also suspect some older children will ultimately be responsible for caring for their younger siblings while their parents are at work.
