[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think APS has accurate data on the % of medically vulnerable kids, so I don't think the numbers people are citing here are accurate.  Maybe people are assuming SPED = medically vulnerable?  My kids are medically at risk.  When we signed up for VLP last Spring I remember a question about why we were choosing VLP.  I could only choose one even though more than one reason applied to us.  I don't remember which one I chose.[/quote]

APS doesn't.  If you look at Fairfax, they have a virtual enrollment of 0.2% of its student body in its medical-only virtual program.  APS has a 2.7% virtual enrollment in its open virtual program.[/quote]

Fairfax worded the requirement in a way doctors were concerned anything less than boy-in-a-bubble getting a note might be viewed as malpractice. If this was a good faith argument from a numerically literate person, it would have acknowledged a large number of factors making any conclusions and comparisons foolish.

Fairfax did it absolutely correct.  People who are afraid to put their kids in school are not following the science (the science has been 100% clear for a year now).  Kids need to be in school and, as the data has shown, they are getting a proven inferior form of education online.

If they want to do online school, the state has 2 statewide online schools or they can homeschool their kids.[/quote]

Parent of early ES VLP kids here.  The science shows kids need to be in school.  The science also shows that my kids are at risk of serious complications if they get COVID so we're in VLP until they get vaccinated.  I agree my kids are getting an inferior education than they would be if they were in person.  I wish there wasn't a pandemic and my kids could be in school.  From what I heard anecdotally from friends and family doing virtual or hybrid in other districts around the country, my kids' inferior virtual education last year was still superior to the virtual education many other kids had.  So THANK YOU APS![/quote]

Glad your kids got a great virtual education last year. Most APS' kids got a horrendous one and they wanted to be in school.[/quote]
