[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What Duran should have done was open schools in August, as originally planned, when rates were good. Then we could have reverted to virtual if needed, but at least kids would have gotten a couple of months in school, met their teachers snd classmates, etc. I have a first grader who has literally never seen her teachers (except specials) in real life. No meeting at the playground in masks, nothing. 
I also have an older child, but for the younger one, we were told her grade would return in August/Sept, then late Oct, then Nov, then early Dec, now who knows. That’s a lot of dates to set and then cancel. 
In July, when it was announced that everyone would “just start” virtually, I thought they would not go back this school year. I still think that’s quite likely, given the higher Covid rates now & the repeated habit of setting dates then cancelling the return (at least 4 times that’s already happened). [/quote]

Enough already with the Monday morning quarterbacking. I keep reading/hearing things like this and people need to look forward. Maybe he should have opened then, maybe not. But we should be focusing on the now and going forward, not looking backwards.[/quote]

I think we all knew if he’d have opened, we’d have reverted back to virtual.  As much as you may hate DL, the teachers have worked hard learning how to do it, and it isn’t easy for them or for families to suddenly flip that switch.  NOW- there’s a vaccine, and an end in sight.  They can all go back slowly, and for good.[/quote]
