[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some of the reason parents want in person so much is they have a incorrect vision of what school will be like for kids.  Kids will not be returning to the same loving, caring place they left.  It will feel sterile. Kids in rows, no group work, no socializing, no sitting with friends, no laughing and giggling during lunch, no fun time in gym or art.  It’s going to be wildly different.  I think some parents (NOT ALL) are counting on DCPS or some schools not following all the rules so their kids will have a semblance of what school used to be.

I've seen this popping up in various places (facebook and internet content farm sites like ScaryMommy). Some are even claiming that it would be "traumatic" to have kids return with having to observe social distancing and wear masks. I think that's absurd. Kids are resilient, and being in school learning directly will have a lot more benefit on the whole than staying home.  Social distancing does not mean kids can't play together or that teachers can't love and care for their kids.  This seems to be the new line of a particularly annoying group of moms who are attached to "play based learning!" etc. [/quote]

There will be no recess, I’m not sure what you’re imagining.

And it depends if people believe that children just can’t get that love at home, where it will not just be verbal but physical as well.
There won’t be close socialization, no I don’t think this is traumatic but just a little too sterile for my kiddo. So DL/pod it is.

At school I’m sure everyone will make every effort to make sure kids don’t touch anyone.[/quote]
