[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very concerned for my elementary student that she'll be back 5 days, but that she'll still be being taught by iPad with a combo of prerecorded and DL instruction in the classroom.[/quote]

If it is a county wide virtual program, there will be a teacher dedicated to that, so I don't know why you think there is pre-recorded information.  If you don't like that, choose in person.  We aren't going to create 28 different programs to make every single parent happy.[/quote]
My concerns have nothing to do with the county virtual program.  I'm concerned that in person students will still be taught virtually because of teacher preference.  If elementary students aren't vaccinated teachers math still refuse to return to return to the classroom, as is occurring currently at my elementary school.  [/quote]

Except that they are related.  Teachers that aren't returning in person would be staffing the virtual option. There won't be virtual teachers at regular schools.  MOST teachers want to be back in person and as close to normal as possible.  No concurrent, no Teams, etc.  Middle and high school use Canvas and technology a lot pre COVID so that's probably not changing.[/quote]No.  You aren't listening.  These teachers are classified as "in person" by APS, but aren't comfortable being in the classroom with students so the principal is letting them teach students via iPad.  This is by teachers choice.  The principal is letting teachers decide whether to be in the classroom or teach via Teams/prerecorded video.[/quote]

Which school?[/quote]

I don't think the issue here is that we aren't listening to you. What you are describing is not the case for the vast majority of students right now. Some kids have classes with a teacher teaching from home right now but, for the most part, those are the teachers that got virtual accommodations from the county. If your principal is doing something different then that sounds like an issue that pertains to your school. There will not be virtual teachers for the in person students next year, they will be a separate pool. How a live teacher presents information to your child is a different matter entirely- although it's a lot of extra work to prerecord videos so I really don't think in person teachers are going to be doing that.[/quote]
