[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those who are rigidly opposed to temporarily switching to virtual, what's your solution to not enough staff?  I think that's the biggest hurdle.

Make it easier for parents to sub. Put out a call to the community for help. Like we used to during the war and the last epidemic, when we were really a nation of people who cared. [/quote]

Really? Maybe some will be able to sub, but I think it would be hard to fill this, especially in MS and HS.  I can see this happening for ES, although Idk how many parents would want to go to school during a surge.  Also, in WW2, most women were not working, we are in a different situation.  I don't know how this solution would be better for MS and HS than doing a temporary virtual.[/quote]

Actually, women were where we found the excess workers needed, but that might be your point.   Staffing concerns are the only reason I would accept for going virtual, and should be used as a last resort.  We are at an ES so it’s easier to take only certain classes virtual if a teacher is out - I know especially HS scheduling is tougher so I don’t pretend to have an answer for that.

Virtual in response to an actual problem makes sense, much as I hate it and will not have my kids do it.  But virtual in a misguided attempt to prevent a problem is infuriating.  [/quote]
