[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our elementary has 4 classes per grade.  Since overall the numbers are around 50/50 and I'm sure we aren't that different, can't we just say two virtual classes and two in person classes per grade and be done with it?  Sure, some kids will have to switch teachers but that's nothing after what theyve been through already.[/quote]

No, because the in-person classes can only be half the size of normal in order to maintain the size/distance needed in the classroom. So you need twice as many teachers for the in-person classes.  Exceptions are possibly the lower grades in focus elementary schools, which have smaller class sizes to begin with.[/quote]

Exactly

If teacher A and teacher B both have 20 kids in their class and you shuffle everybody around into virtual and in person  then one teacher is dedicated to only teaching 12 kids and the other kid and the other teacher is going to teach 28. I know this is doable in some circumstances but depending on the school it would not be allowed because of rules about class sizes for title 1/focus[/quote]

So, you punish the virtual kids who are doing their part to reduce the spread?  Nice.[/quote]
