[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Enjoy your petty misery bubble, folks.

Only half of the students at my school are coming back. Many are happy and thriving with DL.[/quote]

I am one of the parents keeping my child in DL and it’s not because he is thriving. I mean we’ve formed a pod and hired some help so we’re making the best of it. But it’s not like I’m picking DL because we think it’s so great.

It’s because in-person learning is only 2 days per week and may very well still be over a computer while a monitor sits in class. I also don’t trust the school not to back pedal like has been done before or become over zealous about shutting down again. Not to mention, at the back to school meetings, we still haven’t been told many details about what an in-person day will look like.

Oh and the fact I can’t change my selection to continue with distance learning that I made MONTHS ago back before the vaccine rollout when metrics were going up during the holidays. So really your response should say half the families chose distance learning months ago and are now stuck with their choice and/or are completely underwhelmed by the in-person offering that is only 2 days and possibly still over a computer with other unknown factors.

Look, we like our son’s teacher and anyone who talked to us would assume we’re doing okay with virtual learning because we try to look on the bright side and make the most of things. And I realize individual teachers aren’t in control of things.

But STOP with this lie that virtual learning is so great that 50% of families are thriving.

No, half the families are stuck with this option amongst a buffet of crappy offerings.[/quote]

I think it's safe to say you're both being a little dramatic and hyperbolic and that the reality is somewhere in between. [/quote]
