[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many teachers have children who are in different school districts. School districts that are going all virtual. So to expect the teachers to come in to work while most of the neighboring school districts are going virtual - that puts a pretty great burden on these teachers. I'm not against reopening, I'm just pointing out that you do need to consider what your neighboring school districts are also doing for many reasons - including this one.[quote]

I would imagine that would be relatively uncommon in a district as large as NYC.  However, I could see if being more of an issue in other parts of the state.[/quote]

It is a challenge in much of NYS. My children were first in MCPS, then we bought in FCPS. When we moved up to NY I was stunned that districts were so small. Each town might have its own school district. Many band together across a region as part of a BOCES district with a shared calendar—but that is all out the window now. My district is hybrid either MT or ThF, the neighboring district is MW/TTh hybrid, and my boyfriend’s kids go 3days on, 3 days off. So many teachers teach out of district. Coordinate childcare is going to be difficult for ALL working parents.[/quote]
