[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had virtual since DD is asthmatc, but are opting for in-person next year, since she is constantly facing frustration with poor virtual teaching.  However, our concerns are:

1) With some teachers opting for the virtual academy, there will be fewer teachers in-person, so in-person class size will be bigger.  That means more crowded, with 3ft distancing vs 6ft.  If schools have a problem opening windows, isn't there a higher risk of outbreak with poor ventilation, should someone be infected in class?

2) Flu season in the fall/winter months - without 6-ft distancing, and again, closed windows - would that be a double-whammy?

3) This would be the first time that APS is allowing 5-day in-person learning when the pandemic is still raging on, and children's vaccines are far from being available. While masks may lower the risk of infection, how many kids really abide mask-wearing throughout the day? I assume APS is reverting to the pre-pandemic class schedule. [/quote]

How do you normally manage flu season with your daughter?

By the fall community spread of covid will be low enough to drop the distancing.  They may still mask and use air filtration.  [/quote]
