[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's true that 3-5 would go back after 6-12, I think that kind of makes sense. Kids in 3-5 are old enough to mostly get a lot out of distance learning, and they don't have the academic needs older kids do, if that makes sense. Like, if they miss out on a bunch of instruction, they have a long time to make up for it, whereas older kids don't.

I have a sixth grader and a third grader, and as much as I want them to go back (I signed both up for hybrid) I am much more concerned about my sixth grader than my third grader.  [/quote]

I also have a 3rd and 6th grader, and I agree with this.  That said, my 3rd grader will be devastated if her brother gets to go back and she doesn’t.  She misses school terribly.[/quote]

I have a first, second, and third grader. I’m more concerned about my third grader than I am about my first or second. He missed a lot in second grade and the transition from second to third is always a big one. It has been a struggle for him this year and school usually isn’t a struggle at all. He understands the content he is being taught but is pretty apathetic. My first grader can be difficult to motivate sometimes but she is generally happy to participate in school.

It’s concerning that they don’t seem to have any sort of plan for 3-5 at this point. My third grader will be devastated if his sisters get to go to school and he doesn’t. It’s especially frustrating because the original plan had preK through third all together and then they switched it and lumped third in with 4-5. I also thought the message from the governor was that pre-K through 3 needed to be prioritized. The mixed messaging is maddening. [/quote]
