[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.

I know a bunch of families that did this as well- they don’t want to send their kids anytime soon, definitely not before the holidays but they didn’t want to lose a chance to send kids in person in the spring. I think if they waited until after the holidays and surveyed everyone in late January or February with a March starting date, more people may have went hybrid.[/quote]

This was initially why we chose hybrid. We switched to virtual because we were worried schools would open in November even with rising cases[/quote]

Oh and hybrid started sounding less appealing with the concurrent plan. How can a teacher teach properly if his/her attention is split between kids in the classroom and kids online? Add to this the uncertainty of schools closing for two weeks if someone gets covid, and then having asynchronous, synchronous and in person learning all in the same week. It just sounds too stressful to deal with. Oh and we have a four year old at home who we pulled out of preschool in September because it didn’t make sense to have our kindergartner at home and preschooler in school (how would we explain that to our kindergartner?) Plus it’s easier when they have each other to play with. Virtual hasn’t been great but it sounds better than hybrid[/quote]

Wanted to add that we are already applying for private schools next fall. Smaller classes probably means they will open in the fall unlike public school which will probably be hybrid.[/quote]
