[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What school system had 70% of kids choose to stay out of school? [/quote]

70% of TJ kids chose to stay home in the fall. The fact that the smartest kids who have the most to lose by not coming back to their labs chose to stay online should tell you something.

That number is probably even higher now, since the in-person returns have dropped by 20% since fall at two other HS I'm aware of.[/quote]

It tells us something. That they like DL? That they all have the longest commutes and didn't see the value of 2-day school?  Something else?  I don't know.  Did we ask them?[/quote]

Yes. I would caution against making generalizations about how and why people are switching. I know people who chose virtual who have switched to in-person and have done so for reasons ranging from DL isn’t working for the kid to the parents’ work schedule changed and they are now back to work in person to mental health concerns. I also know people who have switched from in-person to DL. And again for a variety of reasons from fear of metrics to thinking 2 days isn’t worth the trouble but they’d do 5 days if they could to simply wanting to stay with their teacher but the teacher is staying virtual. There are a million reasons why people could switch in either direction. It’s constantly evolving. [/quote]
