[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We haven't even tried to arrange anything yet.  The only thing that would even make sense for us would be a kid or two in the same class as ours.  I don't want to manage multiple kids' Zoom schedules, etc.  I think ultimately, however, we will just try to find one or two other families who are pretty isolated and try to create a bubble that allows us to set up some playdates.  I don't want to supervise other people's kids school work, and I don't want to blow a giant hole in our social distancing.  [/quote]

Same.  I think a lot of people jumped into pods because everyone else was and they had FOMO -- what if we're in the only ones not in a POD?!?  Only after did they start to think about the logistics of it - what if the kids aren't in the same class?  Or what if they are different reading/math groups and have different assignments? What about siblings -- are they in different pods?  How will we manage so many different schedules?

I might pod with one or two others if I know them and they are in the same class.  I don't want to manage a lot of other kids.  My kids seem to do better than others with DL, so I will get frustrated managing kids who can't handle it as well.  [/quote]

According to some of the school threads, they are now pressuring the schools to assign kids in the same pod to the same class.  (And, apparently, the schools are telling them to shove it, albeit more politely than that.)[/quote]

Our school is doing the opposite. They have a special request form for pod families to request classes. I wouldn't touch a pod with a ten foot pole, but I can appreciate that the school is trying to work with people.[/quote]

If and when the kids are back in brick-and-mortar, that’s going to ostracize the other kids who weren’t in pods.[/quote]
