[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No idea. I feel like for Duran there needs to be more outside pressure than there is now.

I am not sure how "difficult" it is to do or not. Is there really cost or difficulty, especially for elementary? If they wanted to they could turn on a dime I bet.

Personally, I think it is the right thing to do to get kids back in school. Not doing so is a cop out just like no school at all from March-June last year. It will harm education overall.

This said, they must reopen selections to all families if they offer more. It was already unfair enough to families to go with Fall 2020 selections and there would be rioting about the unfairness. Especially since there are wait-lists.

(On a personal level, my early elementary DC is enjoying hybrid and doing well, and for now I am quietly enjoying these last months home before life returns to normal and 5 day school in Fall, as it should be.)[/quote]

I don't understand all of the complexities, but transportation has always been an issue even pre-pandemic. How are you getting 2x the numbers of kids (or more) to school?

Many of our schools were over 100% capacity pre-pandemic - classes in the hallway, etc. Can you fit the kids with 3' distancing?

And to remove concurrent you'd have to reassign many kids to new teachers. That would be so disruptive 3/4ths of the way through the school year.

I think they’d keep concurrent. The problem is that pre-k-2 classes are spread out across two rooms, so they share with upper grades on their off days. If everyone was back they couldn’t do that. [/quote]
