Even the nuttiest nutters I know are sending kids back.  [/quote]
My concern is that, since their kids are back, those folks will push for unreasonable measures that are inconsistent with APS providing actual education.[/quote]

On in person days my K-2 kid is on her iPad about 80-90% of the day.  Either teachers are

[b]-- delivering classes virtually because they are afraid of exposure despite being classified as "in person" with no health issues, 
--"team teaching" so one teacher is teaching 30+ kids in two classrooms at the same time so each teacher only has to prep and teach half as much, 
--teaching in person, but the room is set up so awkwardly that kids can't see the whiteboard, [/b]or
-- playing a prerecorded video of themselves teaching instead of actually teaching in person, despite being physically present in the classroom.

All of this is happening daily.  It all needs to stop.[/quote]
