[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think APS needs to get hybrid running this year so they can work out the kinks for next fall.  There is a good chance that schools may need to be hybrid in the fall and I don't want APS to wait to sort out how to reopen.  We can't keep kicking the can on educating kids, like APS chose to last spring and even much of this year.

For my 7 yo, most of the year is already lost.  She doesn't learn well via DL.  Last spring APS didn't even try, so she lost more than a quarter of last year too.  I don't want her to her to have a third school year that is critically disrupted by APS not having its act together to educate students.  [/quote]

+100. It is truly astonishing what happened last spring. APS is the only district that literally didn't teach new material. The SB should all resign for not intervening in that mess (and the 2 newest school board voiced their support for that policy during the campaign!). They could have used the spring to iron out the kinks for DL in the fall. We all knew even then that some kids were going to need to remain virtual due to health conditions. And why do teachers need more and more training days. Isn't that what Mondays are for? And why is the in-person school day going to be a on a reduced schedule? The virtual day was shortened because it's too draining to be "on" for that many hours a day. Now more than ever we need more instructional time - not less! We need these kids in the building asap to work this stuff out so we can hit the ground running come fall. Hopefully we can get elementary in 5 days a week before school is over. [/quote]
