[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Fairfax County, parents had to apply for a virtual “academy” and provide medical documentation that their child could not attend in person. They will not be taught by teachers from their neighborhood school, but by teachers that are hired specifically for this virtual academy. If approved, they are locked into the virtual academy until the halfway point of the school year.

In a school system of over 180K students, there are under 1000 that have been accepted grade K-12. [/quote]
DC has one. In a school system of 51k students, hey've accepted 19 students and rejected 19.

That isn't what OP is asking for. We want something that bridges the gap to the vaccine, creates a structure for the inevitable back-and-forth to virtual for those families who prefer in-person, and maintains the belonging to their own school community.[/quote]

And people in hell want ice water. How is any school administrator supposed to plan for what you’re asking for? [/quote]
[b]This is a gift to school administrator. [/b]Reducing the in-classroom cohort size, from self-selecting families, reduces the risk of outbreaks. Having some virtual kids ensures the structure is in place and there is no scrambling at the quarantine transitions.[/quote]

NO IT IS NOT. You seem to think that teachers grow on trees and that staffing is fluid and flexible. You seem to think that no planning is involved. Do you have a job that requires any thinking or large scale planning?

Go back to the post above with the first grade classroom example. Answer that and then we’ll talk. [/quote]

Simulcast is AWFUL. Teachers despise it as do kids. In my son's PK3, kids watching from home regularly cried about having to see their friends interacting in the classroom with their teacher. It was heartbreaking.[/quote]
