[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is coming back this year. Let's all pray they get this vaccine together and we all get the damn shot so the kids can return in August. /end thread.[/quote]

Winning turtle wax — It seems like a lot of parents are excited about a possible RTS, but as a teacher, if the board approves the plan, I would feel very much like I had won a consolation prize I never wanted.   I would only see, at most, one fifth of my students in person, and I would  be trying to figure out how to do this concurrent nonsense. So, it’s just hard to look forward to going back to the building. [/quote]

Not for nothing - but that’s why I feel strongly that they have to get in this year - to work out those kinks for the fall. [/quote]

I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to do concurrent by then, or at least, if I did, I could do it properly since FCPS would have more time to upgrade their tech.  Yeah, I guess that’s being optimistic.  [/quote]

I don’t know how they could justify going back concurrent in the fall. Schools that were in person this year did this or are full time or transitioning to full time. Are we going to be falling behind still and the only ones not full time while everyone else is?

But, to answer above I also think they will argue the timeline based on vaccine. [/quote]

They have said they’re offering virtual in the fall. I think they should consolidate virtual at the county level in that case - but I have no indication they’ll do that. If they keep it at the base school level - I don’t see how they have enough to do all virtual classes for the most part - hence my guess that there may be some concurrent involved. I definitely don’t know for sure. [/quote]

Well, I guess we will see how it goes.  I really hope I don’t get locked into some half-virtual half-f2f arrangement for the foreseeable future.  It doesn’t seem to be optimal conditions for community building.[/quote]
