[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But who says that hybrid means a teacher needs to teach a virtual  and in-person simultaneously? Why are you assuming  that's the case? Because  it's convenient  for your case?[/quote]

Because that's how it's laid out. What would you have the kids do the other 2 days a week ?[/quote]

asynchronous work. it’s not that hard to figure out!

It amounts to part time school. And complete full time child minding for the smaller kids.[/quote]

I mean, that’s effectively what we have now with DL. The amount of direct instruction minutes is part time; the balance of the work is asynchronous. kids going to school “part time” and then doing the rest of the work asynchronously (or let’s just call it “homework”) is better. [/quote]

But your kids are learning new things every day and they check in with their teachers through live instruction every day. I think parents are happier to have their kid occupied daily rather than have 3 full days a week where they must organize and provide all the supervision. What you are suggesting means the teacher has to repeat the same lesson twice -- meaning the kids by definition are learning less. [/quote]

This.  My kid is progressing in math because every day her teacher does a lesson that builds on what they did the day before, then they do a problem set, then check in with the teacher with any questions.  Then they have some asynchronous time to reinforce the lesson with Zearn or something.  Then the next day, they move forward in the curriculum.  With three days off, how does that work?  You can't give ES students three full days of homework, at least not without expecting parents to be teaching this stuff and spending even more time supervising their kids' learning, on top of whatever other responsibilities they have.

If they could do in-person half-days five days a week, I think that would be more valuable -- lessons in the morning, asynch in the afternoon, or vice-versa.  But that was never apparently on the table.  [/quote]

feel free to enroll in Friendship PCS’s online charter school.

the rest of us want to send our kids to school. [/quote]
