[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]an ACPS teacher I contacted (personally spoke to each of my students families) if they wanted to be hybrid or stay virtual.

Additionally, I received emails AND a phone call from MY child’s school confirming our preference. How in the world you got that I “never received contact or chose not to respond” from that is beyond me...[/quote]

Even assuming that this is all true for you and your family personally, I can 100 percent guarantee you that GWMS or Hammond, where there are hundreds of kids per grade (more than at my child's entire ES) and up to 7 teachers per student for various subjects, is not doing this.[/quote]

At Hammond they definitely did.  I know Hammond teachers and staff who have told me that they did, and I believe them.[/quote]

I guess it depended on the school and admin.  At our school, we had all of our Monday meetings cancelled in December to reach out to every parent to find out their choice.  However, I agree with the frustration that parents (and staff) were it "wasn't binding" to find out out now it actually was.  I wanted to choose for my own children to remain virtual as (I had hoped at the time to remain due to childcare and a pre-exiting health condition), but picked hybrid.  I am uncertain if my elementary aged child will actually go back due to all of the constraints, but am glad that I have the option.

I do agree that families should have been quickly re-assessed when hybrid was "actually" decided to return.  I now many families that picked hybrid that have chosen to remain virtual and others that chose to remain virtual, but are open to hybrid now.  I think the underlying issue is staffing.  I now for me, I still have to figure our child care for my kids on their non in-person days when I return to the classroom.

Honestly, this all sucks and I wish we didn't have to experience any of this.[/quote]
