[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2nd grader just found out and has no clue what happened. I sympathize with the teachers but honestly the only ones who are suffering are the children who can’t comprehend this at all.. is there no other way to make a statement instead of dragging children who have no fault in this. I am all for teacher and safety but honestly there has to be a better way [/quote]

yeah I am normally very honest with my kid but can’t be now. He got an in-person slot so how am I supposed to explain that his teachers don’t want to teach him?[/quote]

2nd grade is a great time for a lesson in nuance. Kids at that age are very bright and if lead through reasoning about a situation can walk away without feeling bad and learning a lot about empathy. [/quote]

yeah, no. who’s going to have empathy for him? trying to explain this will only make him scared to return, think his teachers don’t like him, or that his teachers are wrong/stupid. “The teachers are so scared of covid they don’t want to teach you! And the other kids parents are mad their class sizes will be bigger. but you shouldn’t be worried.” [/quote]

How about the message the teachers have been communicating:  Your teacher wants to stay your teacher, not for you to go in to school and have a different teacher.  Your teacher wants to be able to hear your thoughts and ideas in the virtual classroom, if that’s where you stay, and we know how hard that is now with __ students in the class.  Imagine having even more students in your live sessions!  Your teachers want to make sure it’s the absolute safest environment possible so no one has to worry about you or your family and so when you do return to a school, you can feel safe and comfortable because you know they made sure of it.  [/quote]

Wow so their messaging doesn't say anything about the most vulnerable kids who were supposed to go in person? What about those kids? Mine wasn't offered a slot, but there are kids who absolutely need it who need to go in person.[/quote]
