[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one or two days per week scenario should’ve been shot down in the initial meetings. What a god awful idea. All the exposure with none of the learning. I would rather take over myself at home then send my kid in to school to get sick at regular intervals. Especially if I know my kid will be attending on the same days as kids of medical workers. If we’re not ready, we’re not ready. One week on two weeks off makes more sense because then if a kid gets it their week “on” they might show symptoms during down period and not go back to school. These poor teachers though, they’ll all get infected and spread it to all their kids. Why TF aren’t they spending this energy making complicated and idiotic schedules into actually fighting this virus? This is a pointless dog and pony show with the “extra cleaning” and “social distancing”.[/quote]

The one or two day a week plan defies common sense.

Is being exposed to covid two days instead of five really that different?[/quote]

Yes. It is and small class sizes are easier to manage.  Class sizes are too big anyway, half the day is crowd management. [/quote]

I don’t think classes are too big. I moved my kid from a private with small classes to DCPS with their typical class size. So much better! If you are a bright kid, you are slowed down by other if you have more kids. There are more kids for groups. I think many parents on this board are pretty naive about schools. It is bad parental FOMO or something.[/quote]

Meant to say: If you are a bright kid, you are **NOT** slowed down by other if you have more kids. [/quote]

I can't stand teaching small classes.[/quote]

Is that because you then have to acknowledge the kids who don’t understand or have disabilities?  You can’t just keep teaching and pretend you don’t see them or that they get in the way?[/quote]

Haha such a strange assumption.  And patently untrue.  Large classes have advantages for many students.  But keep that chip on your shoulder and let that anger rage on!  Oh and also keep thinking that teachers in small classes do t just “ pretend they don’t see them”.  You clearly know nothing about what goes on in a school.[/quote]

I clearly know about schools. 20 years experience here as a special education teacher. Nice try though! [/quote]

I don’t think anything in your original post would clearly show you have experience in schools.  That being said you clearly have disdain for the regular Ed teachers you work with since your original assumption was that a teacher is lazy and ignores students with disabilities.  I’m sure your colleagues love working with you. [/quote]
