[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're keeping our kids at home because we feel that the in-school operations are unsafe.  If we feel that way for our kids then I can COMPLETELY understand why teachers feel that way for themselves.  The kids who have gone back already are either 1) the kids whose moms want them out of the house because they are hellions, or 2) the kids who have special needs or need extra support.  I think most of the kids are in the #1 category.  No way do I want our kids in that mix and, again, I can completely understand why teachers would want to avoid them.  I would, too.[/quote]

+1 Our kids have taken a look at who is in the classrooms and there is absolutely no way that our kids want to be there with them. [/quote]

I'm surprised you didn't just call out which races they saw. [/quote]

Not that poster, but it might not be a racial divide at all. One of my kids is in a class with lots of children from our family’s racial background. The nice part about DL is that class clowns and behavior problems just didn’t show up at all. If their parents force them to come in-person, it’ll derail everything for everyone in-person and virtual.[/quote]

In our school it is the school counselors who are actually recruiting the kids who are failing because they weren't showing up for online. Now those kids are in school acting out and the teacher has to deal not only with them but the whole rest of the class that is online. It is a hot mess.[/quote]

At our school, the IPL slots were so limited that basically the only kids going in are the ones with IEPs and known behavior issues- hate to say it, but by 5th grade, kids know what’s up about other kids in their grade. In regular times, everyone is all mixed together (as it should be) but the consequence of the priority groups is that the IPL classes are all kids with issues. [/quote]
