[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS parent again. Default is 2 days in person. Must opt in to 100% DL by July 10.

You are essentially registering for a DL school. Classes will he composed once they have all the numbers in (including teachers who opt to distance teach). No guarantees your teacher or classmates are from base school.

You can’t change your mind afterwards, because they need hard numbers to allocate teachers, resources, buses, etc. Deadline is early, because this is a massive undertaking and figuring out adjusted bus routes (with distancing) and class assignments will take weeks.

[b]So once you are DL or in person, you are locked in for the year[/b]. [/quote]

What do you think is the likelihood that in person will not experience near constant rolling closures? I assume that regardless of the form school takes in September, there will be some families roaming all over maskless who will then send feverish Larla to school under a dose of Tylenol.[/quote]

No idea. If kids are wearing masks in schools and are spaced out at desks all facing forward, there should be minimal spread (though I don’t assume zero). Superintendent says they will crack down hard on sick kids in school (Tylenol will wear off). Execution is everything. We’ll see.

[b]Young elementary parents have a different set of challenges than I do when making their decisions. My inattentive/anxious 9th grader needs to be in class as much as possible. Unfortunately, she doesn’t learn well through the computer and the Q4 was a complete waste for her, even though she logged in for every class. [/b]

Honestly, I think there’s a good chance of a second wave shut down. I want to give DD at least a couple months to meet her new teachers and classmates and go into the building of her new school (going from middle to high). [/quote]

I hear you! My child's going to a magnet middle school (6th grade), and while she doesn't have any diagnosis, she also doesn't learn well through the computer. Might be just immaturity, I don't know, but I can clearly see that my child isn't 'thriving' online, she's regressing. So I'd choose 2 days in person without hesitation.

But why is this the plan for the entire year? Didn't they say that by [b]February, life will be back to normal [/b]with the vaccine available?

Bless your heart... ( google the southern meaning of this) [/quote]
