[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Right. And? Haven't you been paying attention to what RTS might look like?

Is you kid getting reading, writing, or math in person? Is there an adult in the room with them?

Who TF cares if PE is on the iPad during a pandemic.[/quote]No, my kid will not be getting reading, writing and math in person.  There is a teacher in the room, but she will be teaching one or two other separate groups of kids a different subject, not assisting the kids in her classroom.

This plan was never communicated by APS. It was first shared in our parent teacher conference at the end of last week.  There hasn't been a single email from Glebe with the details. Parents who haven't asked specifically haven't been told.  It is not the same plan as any other APS elementary school.

And, yes, I have been paying very close attention.  Glebe is choosing a terrible bastardized version of the APS plan and it doesn't seem that parents are being told or that APS administration is paying attention. [/quote]

Sounds like the middle school/high school plan.

What are the subjects she will get in person?

No, this is not the middle and high school plan. I have multiple kids in multiple grade levels and schools. HS and MS are (for the most part) having either kids or teachers move to be in person with their in person teacher teaching the subject they are scheduled  for at the time.  So you are learning Spanish from your Spanish teacher in the classroom with you while you are all logged into teams and interacting equally with the at home kids. Fine- totally reasonable definition and implementation of concurrent. The glebe plan is the equivalent of having the Spanish teacher loudly speaking and teaching Spanish at her desk while 8 kids sit 6-12 feet away on  school issued headphones and try to learn math!

I agree- it’s such a crazy plan that other posters cannot even grasp the plan. Everyone keeps trying to correct the glebe parents with their own incorrect understanding of the glebe system![/quote]
