[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, PP is correct.  To get 22 kids in over the day that requires 2 classrooms.  Even IF every teacher said they would do in person, they can not accommodate that.[/quote]
At Lafayette they have 6 K classrooms and with an alternating schedule they could make it work. It is a staffing + flexibility issue. They didn't have enough teachers to provide IPL[b] and they discounted any type of hybrid model that would require the teachers to teach more than 20 students.[/b][/quote]

How in gods name would you expect an online class of 30 kindergartners to work? Your proposal basically is to screw the kids at home in favor of kids in school. I know plenty of kids who can't come in -- so they don't deserve to learn? I'm sorry you are angry you didn't get a slot, but my goodness your suggestion is outrageous. [/quote]
You are misunderstanding. 33 students would be taught by each IN PERSON teacher (in groups of 8-10 per session). There are around 20 students whose families prefer they stay all virtual, so they would be in a dedicated class together. The other two virtual teachers would have rotating classes of 25 each day, and the cohorts would switch every 2 days (25, I might add, is how large the virtual classes are going to be with the model they are implementing. The principal made it quite clear the staff are all fine with larger virtual classes).

Such a model requires more imagination and flexibility to pull off, and it's not ideal, but at least it would equitably distribute the in-person learning among all the kids whose families want it.

Anyway my thought experiment isn't going to happen and who knows if in person learning will start in <3 weeks with case loads going the wrong direction and these potential new strains that are more contagious.[/quote]
