[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my school specials except PE will be virtual but those teachers are still working at school multiple days per week, they are just live in a classroom space. They don’t want one person to see hundreds of kids each week and be a vector.

For departmentalizing grades it’s likely similar. My school typically departmentalized upper grades in pairs. This year we are all not doing that because of virtual so now homeroom teachers do all subjects other than specials. That was up to each principal.

Just because a teacher is teaching your kid virtually doesn’t mean they aren’t in the building. Some things need to give.[/quote]
Yes, the principal is choosing to keep departmentalization even if it means kids in K-5 won't receive half their core content in person and will be on their iPad for even more time.  This is the decision that is the most objectionable.

We were told that PE would be virtual in the classroom with kids at their desks.  No physical movements would be permitted because kids are only 6' apart.  No materials can be provided to kids because there is no way to disinfect materials.  This is also a really bad decision.[/quote]

JFC. You complained when the kids were virtual. Now you complain when they are back.

It’s a FCKING pandemic. Your kid will be fine. YOU need to deal with it. 
[/quote]They're not back.  They're still getting most instruction virtually because Glebe has decided in person education isn't important for K-5.  It's a farce.[/quote]For months all we've heard is that the RTS will be different.  Why didn't you pay any attention to that.  It astounds me that you are surprised by this.  Your kids ARE back in the school building.  Stop complaining.[/quote]
