[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I finally looked at all my sections today to see how many kids I have each period on T/W and Th/F.  For one period I have 2 kids in person, and 27 online. That's going to be...awkward.  If those kids experience that in their other classes too, I predict they'll go back to virtual because that's just uncomfortable and has none of the socialization they crave.[/quote]

Yes, my HS senior has already announced that concurrent is not what he was hoping for - not the hybrid he signed up for- the teachers at his HS have already been discussing how the kids will likely want to return to DL once they experience the awkwardness of being logged on in a classroom.  And yes, older kids for sure have become used to sleeping in, no cameras (no shower, pajamas) and texting during class. He really just wanted to interact with teachers face to face and see his friends. Not looking like that will happen. And the suggestion of classroom monitors - who DS predicts will be "a bunch of helicopter moms and karens" - definitely not going to encourage kids to come to HS.

what a tough year for all - teachers and students alike - [/quote]
