[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're keeping our kids at home because we feel that the in-school operations are unsafe.  If we feel that way for our kids then I can COMPLETELY understand why teachers feel that way for themselves.  The kids who have gone back already are either 1) the kids whose moms want them out of the house because they are hellions, or 2) the kids who have special needs or need extra support.  I think most of the kids are in the #1 category.  No way do I want our kids in that mix and, again, I can completely understand why teachers would want to avoid them.  I would, too.[/quote]

+1 Our kids have taken a look at who is in the classrooms and there is absolutely no way that our kids want to be there with them. [/quote]

I seriously can’t even imagine who would be keeping their kids virtual by choice right now unless they are at high risk of Covid complications. Maybe PPs have middle or high school aged kids and virtual works for them. My ES kids just went back and they are like different people now (for the better). I assure you that most of the kids in our ES are not “behavior problems”.[/quote]

About half the parents in my kid's kindergarten cohort, some of whom are neighbors we see at the park and chat. What it comes down to is their kids got into a good routine with virtual, many have siblings to play with or family close by so they're not super isolated, and the parents don't trust the school system or didn't have enough information about reopening conditions to feel safe choosing hybrid when we had to commit (which was December in our district).

I totally understand this. If I could minimize risk without seeing my kid suffer, I'd do the same. But mine was NOT in a good routine and was acting out more at home, which has improved slightly since hybrid started. [/quote]
