[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most agree that DL doesn't work for younger kids. What if DCPS looked into utilizing high schools to create more opportunity for the younger kids to socially distance and use that as a way for in-person teaching?

Obviously more teachers would have to be hired, but if you can poll families to see who would return to in person school, it's not likely to be 100%

Maybe that's a way to keep class sizes smaller and the opportunity for more distancing - at least get the younger kids in front of a teacher. Just a thought.... [/quote]

A BOE member in MCPS suggested DL for MS and HS, allowing K-5 to use the empty buildings. She might as well have said that lizard people should come and teach the kids. That's how well it was received. Districts don't want to bother, and don't really have the bandwidth anyway, for these types of solutions.[/quote]

That's actually a pretty good idea, at least on the space side.  Finding enough teachers for smaller classes at this point would be really tough, much less how to pay them.

It wouldn't really work well here until mid-September and then need to stop in probably mid-November, but I can't believe how few districts in places like California are considering outdoor classes.

“There was no proposal for outdoor learning that I recall. It was not part of the conversation in board meetings,” Maureen Magee, the communications director for the San Diego Unified School District, told me."
