[quote=Anonymous]For the record, I am a teacher and want in person learning. (I actually really want full, normal back to school, but it's obviously not possible.) I posted previously, maybe on another thread, that I do think DCPS is headed towards starting off DL, or like MoCo, largely DL. I think the big issue will be that there's already a shortage of staff in most buildings. If 1/3 of the staff takes leave or opts into distance teaching, you're really short staffed in a building. We can pull coaches, interventionists, etc. into the classroom but it's still unlikely to be enough. What if 1/2 the staff takes leave? It will quickly get to the point where there aren't enough staff to do regular learning, let alone have any coverage for regular teacher absences. Last year if I was out most times my class got split up among other classes, and that's with a full staff. They won't be able to hire enough qualified people fast enough, if at all.[/quote]
