With my child, It is easier to give [b]3 hours of dedicated work to one child 1:1 [/b]than 8 hours dispersed across an entire classroom. I don’t mind DL at all. More concerned about emotional and social development, and also the kids that aren’t able to participate in arts, athletics, or team building activities.

What does this mean?  Are you hiring a tutor for 3 hours of one to one virtual instruction?

I agree 1:1 virtual instruction would be far better than large class instruction virtually but that's not what is on offer by our school district.[/quote]

I apologize for being unclear. Personally, I have not needed to hire a tutor so far, but may in the fall as my schedule changes. My point was that the focus should be on making sure children learn the subject, instead of hours online to check the box for instruction guidelines. If covid means all DL - schedule blocks  for the entire group to meet, say for 1-3hrs depending on age. Assign a 1:1 Peer assignment. And let the teacher schedule 1:1 with every student in the class on alternating weeks.

Week 1: Class live and online teams meet
M - Subject 1, 0900-1200 (depending on age maybe less). // Griup work with Classmate 1 in PM
T - Subext 2 ...
W - Subject 3...
T - Subject 4...
F - Subject 5 ...

Week 2: 1:1 Reviews with student and teacher 
M
0900-1000. Student 1
1000-1100. Student 2

You get the picture. I think the nature of this pandemic allows for us to modernize and adapt to  what distance leaning can look like. Teach kids how to operate online socially too, post videos, every student has a day where they share something and all of the class have to comment with an example of how it’s related to the lesson plan for credit, etc

Everyone can’t afford a tutor but there is a way to try to make lemonade out of these lemons
