[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only real way to spread out kids is to go to a shift model. [b]Alternating days or mornings/evenings could cut numbers in half. [/b]In secondary, some courses could be switched to a lecture (online modules) & discussion group (assessments and labs in school) model. Seniors can take reduced #courses. Students could enroll in fully online college courses. It’s going to take a lot of different ideas to reduce student and staff load in the buildings.[/quote]

It would also cut education in half.[/quote]
No it wouldn't. [b]Course content would still be online.[/b] But it would add accountability back to what is happening now. You also don't have to stick to 45 min periods. Rethink the entire schedule process. And not that this would necessarily work for teachers, but my HS kids currently sleep late, game with friends early afternoon, and will finally start schoolwork later around 4 or 5pm, work until 8 or 9pm, and then game with friends until midnight. Some older kids might prefer a night school arrangement that allows them to work during the day.[/quote]

How's that working out for your HS kids?

My academically-minded HS kid hates it and reports that all of their friends hate it too.[/quote]
