[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is at the HS level some schools like Wakefield may have a class with only 3 kids attending in-person. They really should let kids there go 4 days a week so the teachers have someone to teach to. I think the restrictions will have to loosen after a while, but let's get the schools open again first. You need a critical mass, though, for this to work. The older kids don't want to be the only ones at school.[/quote]

What are the hybrid/distance percentages at Wakefield?[/quote]

At the last PTA meeting the Principal said about 50% had opted to go back, but someone on AEM said today it's down to 35% or something. I know several of DC's friends have opted out after initially opting in, because the parents are getting scared. And it seems like a domino thing -- the fewer kids go, the fewer want to go. If you assume 40% opted back, that means the class may only have 20% of the kids in class any given day. It won't be spread evenly, but it's very few kids. Combine that with 2-3 teachers who are virtual vs. coming back to school, and it makes hybrid start to sink.

We are making DC go because we believe in-person school is better and also because I think if no one goes back this spring the chance of a normal fall is almost zero. [/quote]

It IS scary with the way APS is handling secondary school lunches.  It’s downright crazy. I think a lot of people will pull their kids unfortunately. [/quote]
