I’m both a parent and staff. Before I saw the plan, my kids wanted to return (HS) and I was leaning toward return for myself (MS). [b]The plan is so unattractive that it pushed us towards DL for both our kids and me.[/b] The hybrid HS plan is too little in person contact with teachers for the risk. And the 3 week cycle is not going to help facilitate student attendance. For me, I can’t imagine both teaching in person AND online simultaneously. I don’t see it as fair to myself or the students at home. If I could, I would teach all of my regular classes face to face outdoors or in a huge, well-ventilated space.  Neither is going to happen. The next best alternative is DL.[/quote]

I've been assuming that the people who wrote the plan had a goal of pushing people towards the distance-learning option. People, meaning teachers, students, parents, and the BoE. I.e., it's a feature, not a bug.[/quote]

Agreed. How did they not foresee that some people would not understand the drawbacks and plow ahead with hybrid?[/quote]
