[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We only chose hybrid because there is almost no chance of it happening anytime soon and wanted to allow for the potential of hybrid if it ever rolls out in the spring. That's at least if APS sticks to the metrics it had listed when the survey was out. If they change their position from the metrics stated at the time of the survey, well then we may too.[/quote]

My thinking was exact same.

The metrics will be difficult to achieve.  And if they change the metrics, a whole lot of people will rightly say they want to change their choice.

They just said they are changing their metrics. A sh*&ty thing to do right after the choice closed.[/quote]

So far they've only said that they're going to add the CDC school metrics to the APS dashboard, in addition to the VDH metrics they've been using. We'll see what they say next week...

I wish they would just go ahead and call it, say hybrid isn't happening anytime soon beyond level 1. Stop pushing the dates back every couple weeks and just say, the case metrics are going up and we'll reassess a more realistic timeline when they are consistently lower. I think the uncertainty is creating stress for a lot of people.[/quote]

I would rather they leave themselves flexibility to bring in more kids when the numbers improve. We all have access to the metrics they are using and the current case numbers. It’s pretty easy to follow along and see that it’s not happening in Nov and hearing what people are planning for thanksgiving, it’s not happening in December either. I’m thinking late January at the earliest.[/quote]

Flexibility is nice, but they keep pushing dates back only slightly when it is very clear things aren't going to change that much that quickly. So just stop giving out new dates and instead say they will reassess the timeline as metrics allow. They're just giving somewhat conflicting messages. On the one hand they have been very clear that they are following the metrics, they've been transparent about what those metrics are, and we can all see that we are nowhere near level 2 metrics and in fact are going in the wrong direction. On the other hand they are pushing back the hybrid dates 2 weeks at a time, as if it's a real possibility even though it's clearly not. So just connect those two messages together and be transparent about it.[/quote]
