[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the bottom line. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, in PG county we are being told that hybrid instruction means teachers will teach one group in class while teaching the other through distance learning.

I am a teacher and I also have kids in school.  Distance learning is going OK for us.

But if you think distance teaching sucks NOW for your kid, when all the teacher has to think about is kids on one computer screen -- how much better do you think distance teaching will be when that same teacher is in school, in person and wearing a mask, and teaching 15 kids in her class WHILE teaching 15 kids on the computer too?  Managing in class behavior and managing on screen behavior?[/quote]

Fine. Have the districts go back to the State and say that hybrid learning is impossible because concurrent teaching is an unsustainable model. Even better, come up with a different model that does not involve concurrent teaching or recommend that schools remain closed for other year, through the first semester of the 2021-22 school year.

What other option is there? [/quote]

Work as a state to get community spread below 10 new cases per 100,000 per day.[/quote][/quote]

If that's the goal, that needs to happen at the state level. I'm completely on board with it, but it makes no sense unless we are all working toward that goal. Some of us are, but we aren't getting anywhere.

We don't need that as a goal. Schools being open does not contribute to the spread on a large basis. MCPS has been closed for almost a year now, yet the rates in MoCo spiked this fall, _despite_ being closed. Meanwhile, in Western MD where schools were open, the rates also spiked. Other states have had schools open, and there also appears to be no link between schools being open and community spread.[/quote]
