Of course they will but this is the end result of the opposition to concurrent.

I wanted concurrent to stay for this exact reason but others did not so here we are.

One partial solution,[b] but it's too cost intensive to have a camera in the back of each MS and HS classroom,[/b] would be to have teachers videoing lectures, posting them to Canvas for 1 week or whatever on a rotating basis. If my child is quarantined starting Tuesday, on Wednesday he could log in and watch his math, Spanish, and science classes and do the homework. Same thing the next day. It's not 100% the same, but it might help.

Concurrent was not sustainable for our teachers. I worry about kids falling behind who don't have strong parental supports, but unfortunately the school can't solve every single problem for every single child as much as they want to. [/quote]

Way too expensive. Not to mention the privacy concerns of videotaping the class...some families do not want their students photographed or videotaped.[/quote]
