[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The social development piece that is missing cannot be recaptured in a hybrid, socially distant environment for the vast majority of kids.  It just can’t happen.  On so many levels it just wishful thinking.  If kids go back to their school in a completely new way, expecting to invest a ton of energy in just learning and adjusting to this new normal it will not move the needle and it took a lot for everyone to adjust to DL and I think hybrid might just really make it so much for palpable as to what they have lost.  I think it could make the kids really sad and demoralized.  We may wish going to school hybrids will make things better but it might make things worse, emotionally and socially and be a distraction from for kids and potoential efforts to refine DL[/quote]

If hybrid doesn’t work for your kid, he/she can almost assuredly do everything online. The hybrid provides optionality. My kid would do better with the hybrid, that I know for certain. You’ll have choices. [/quote]

In Israel, the hybrid model was flat-out rejected as unsatisfactory for student learning and for parents. [/quote]

What did they do instead?[/quote]

They opened 5 days a week for those willing to come, as they have also done in a number of countries. The USA is bombing this.[/quote]

+1000. However the extremist mentality that a couple people have here where they think the global society should stay isolate forever for each and every health issue until there is a cure or vaccine is not prevalent outside of the DMV. [/quote]

I would be all for Israel's model if we had reacted and contained the virus the way they did, if our citizens were following instructions they way theirs are, if we were as small and controllable as they are, and if our government had done what theirs did from the get go and was preparing for winter the way they are. Right now, talking about Isreal v. U.S. is like comparing grad school to preK. [/quote]
