[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see a lot of administrators conveniently blaming teachers for not wanting to go back. Ask those administrators for detailed plans and see if they have a plan that addresses:

If half the kids are in a hybrid model on campus, what are the other students doing at home? Parents will not be happy going from 5 days a week of direct instruction to 2 days in person, 3 days at home without any direct instruction because their teachers will be busy teaching to the kids attending in person. This is not going to work for a bilingual school.

What are they going to do with the students whose parents will not send them back to in person learning? Who will teach those students?

What is the plan when teachers get sick- and I mean run of the mill colds, flu, cough, stomach aches, headaches? If you have symptoms you can't show up to work. Almost all teachers show up to teach not feeling well during a regular year.

Instead of admin. admitting they can't logistically figure out how to bring kids back, they are blaming teachers.

In the school in other parts of the country that have opened up there is often no maximum number of kids in a class. They are having the same number of kids in a class as last year.  Look at how many students and teacher have Covid in Florida.[/quote]

I have some teacher friends in CO and the hybrid model isn't bad. The ones at home take the class synchronously. There's a screen so teachers can see the students at home, the teachers are mic'd, and they make time to acknowledge both groups of students. They say it doesn't work very well for elementary, but for middle and high school, its working okay. It's less efficient that all in person, but better than DL, and the teachers appreciate getting to actually see how the students are doing. This isn't rocket surgery. It's been done in plenty of places.[/quote]
