[quote=Anonymous]It would be worth it if DCPS planned to do actual instruction on that day. If you read the presentation, you will see that elementary students would have core instruction during their in person days, but grades 6-12 would still have all core instruction delivered virtually.  The in-school day was for something like “academic support and social emotion learning”.  I think this is the natural result of the cohort issue - for contract tracing purposes, they are going to isolate kids into groups of 10 that are in person with the same adult all day long.  Better for isolating COVID, but at this level where students switch classes, it does not lend itself to delivering academic instruction.

So that means my middle and high school kids would still need to complete all of their course work on the other 4 days of the week, and would spend one day sitting in a classroom doing who knows what?  Something like study hall mixed with sessions about their feelings?  Seems miserable and not a good enough reason to expose them to potential virus.  I am willing to take the risk for academic instruction but I don’t think DCPS plans to deliver academic instruction to the 6-12 graders under their hybrid model.[/quote]
