[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But every middle school is opening under the same model as Deal due to cohorting restrictions (e.g. students cannot switch classes). Only elementary schools have leeway to return students on a more full time basis. [/quote]

Deal already has a team model. Kids within an English class have the same history and science teachers. They could move as groups to see at least those 3 teachers, but Neal isn’t doing it. Math and language are trickier because of levels. [/quote]

So if the kids are already a group and the teachers have been given priority for vaccines, there's not reason they can't be getting in person instruction with up to 4 or so teachers rotating in. [/quote]

They would need to rearrange all the kid's schedules to make this work, there are roughly 100 kids per team, and also separate out the kids with different math instruction.  Then PE/Music and language would need to be done online.[/quote]

Worth it I think. The kids need each other. [/quote]

This may be what they plan for the fall.  It is harder to do in the last 10 weeks of school.

They also have to get all the kids into the building to do this.  My DD got to Deal at 8:30 Monday morning and was barely in her seat on time at 9:35 and I think there were about 150 kids going into the building, there were a lot of kids behind her in line.  They need to get efficient on multiple fronts.[/quote]

Thank you for bringing this up because I think it is going to be a really big issue in the fall, even if schools open full time in person.  It takes a long time to check the temperature of each kid, then go through a metal detector and whatever other health procedures will be in place.  I imagine kids getting into class at 10 am if they show up to school at 8;45 and have to wait in line.[/quote]

This is ridiculous reason not to try to begin to implement procedures now for the fall. All of this is systems and planning, leadership needs to be equipped to improve processes and streamline. How about staggered arrivals times? And dismissal to ensure full day of learning? Even 15 minutes makes a huge difference. There's a start.[/quote]
