[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They've been virtual for the whole year and the internet has only collapsed once I think, at the beginning of the year. So why would it start now?[/quote]
Because some schools will now have 200+ people connected to the school wifi (as opposed to connecting from home).  I think its very likely the routers at school will go down, especially if they have the hybrid kids mostly doing things on their ipad still.  [/quote]

They won’t be on iPad as much at school. Mostly for specials. [/quote]

That is not what we have been told. Maybe you’re talking about one of the younger grades? But kids 3rd and up are concurrent will be on the iPad quite a bit. The teacher will be rotating between small groups so while the teachers with the small group, on the iPad the kids will have to be doing independent work on the iPad. [/quote]

They do small groups with younger grades as well. I’m sure it’s been accounted for. [/quote]

I didn’t describe it well. It’s not about the small groups. It’s about what the kids are doing with the teachers in the small group. The difference is  with the younger grades there’s no kids “at home” that the teachers have to juggle with their “in class “kids. The teacher is not teaching to both groups at the same time. At least that’s the model we’re being told for fourth and fifth grade, and even middle school.[/quote]
