[quote=Anonymous][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]

I don't know what other schools are doing, but Wakefield basically said it's only 400 kids in the building and they can spread out basically however they want OR go outside for lunch. That seems safe enough to me.[/quote]
