[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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]

NP. I totally agree. Between teachers who personally are high risk, and teachers who live with someone high risk, and teachers with childcare issues, and teachers who are just plain scared and plan to quit, I think we're going to have a serious teacher shortage. I would love to open fully in-person, but at this point I'm not convinced that it is physically possible for DCPS to do the enormous amount of work necessary to make re-opening in person possible. Maybe I'm wrong, but if I am correct, I hope that DCPS will realize that soon and devote ALL the resources to making DL as good as it can possibly be. [/quote]
