[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all the bad news about Delta, there are enough parents that would prefer to keep their kids all virtual for the few months until they get vaccinated. Schools should offer this. It would get kids out of the classroom, making it safer for the kids choosing in-person. Parents should not be forced to choose to leave their school in order to keep their kids safe. [/quote]

I don't understand where this few months idea is originating. Perhaps in a few months YOUR kids might be vaccinated. But, that will mean nothing for the overall safety for the school community. (And, while I hope you are right, we have no idea when there will be approval.)

Also, you are not at your school when you are online everyday. There is no high quality virtual instruction. If it worked well for your family last year, that's because you have undeniable resources not available to many/most others. That's not bad ... they will serve you well at an online charter if that's what you want. But the idea that you're being forced to leave your school community when what you want is to not be there is a bit silly. (If this is a dual language school by any chance, even more so, because high quality dual language at home just doesn't happen.)

Finally, its not feasible. It may seem nice to you that kids in school would have fewer peers around but they would also have fewer teachers around and an administration trying to be two things at once. Which we saw last year, didn't work well at all.
