[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids' virtual learning experience is better than what hybrid/concurrent instruction will be.

The default is in person?  OK.   When they go back to fully in person, my student will return if it is safe (I'm mostly concerned about spread on the buses and at lunch).

I see no point to sending them back for 2 days/week of concurrent instruction.  [b]It doesn't solve any problem I have[/b].[/quote]

AH, and therein lies the rub. (bolded)

You see, PP, some of us are desperate to get our kids back to school to solve problems THEY have. It is not about us, the parents.

If you don't see any point to having your kids in a classroom, even a modified situation, so that they can interact with peers and adults outside the home, plus enjoy some of the million nuances a day we all benefit from in human interaction, I don't know what to tell you.  Except that I feel very, very sorry for your kids.[/quote]

I don't see enough of a point to a return to in person for two days, for my child, when in-person will be concurrent instruction.   I don't.  Virtual instruction is working OK for my child, and I do not believe that in person concurrent instruction will improve her ability to interact with peers or other adults.  She gets plenty of human interaction right now in other ways (outdoors, with friends, with her family.)

I want school to go back to normal, yes.  But normal means in person instruction -- NOT hybrid/concurrent Zoom school.   I don't feel it is worth the long bus ride and dealing with all the rules and all day mask wearing she will have to go through.  Just for a few weeks of Zoom school in the classroom... and most of that time with be state testing.
