I understand OP's point.  You get told something about a bubble/pod etc. and send your kid back to school only to have them disregard what they told you and do something different.  I think other parents would be more sympathetic if the situation was something like they suddenly decided to make all the kids in the whole school eat together in the lunchroom.  You would just be upset that they dropped the rules and guidelines they said they were going to follow without notice or input.[/quote]

I don't.  It should have been pretty obvious that they would use cohorts to whatever extent they can, but the cohorts would not be able to be completely insulated bubbles.  It's naive for anyone to expect that a "bubble" would mean that kids wouldn't be pushed in or pulled out of classrooms to have their needs met, whether that need is special ed, ESOL, or advanced classes.  OP says that the AAP class is 24 kids, with maybe another handful being pushed in.  Not everyone will choose in person.  OP probably will have 6-10 classroom kids + another 2 push in kids.  The push in kids can easily be 10' away from the nearest classroom kid.  It's not like they're going to seat them right next to OP's kid.

No matter what mitigations the school puts in place, returning to school is riskier than staying home.  The risk added by a couple socially distanced, masked, push-in kids is a drop in the bucket compared to the risk of attending school at all.  If the social distancing, mask wearing, and mostly cohorting isn't good enough for OP, she needs to keep her kid home.  [/quote]
