[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hearst prioritized in-person learning for kids with the most need -- for instance, kids who were struggling to stay on grade-level, or kids with special needs. That meant that some kids who didn't have those needs had very limited in-person learning last year.

Some members of our school community are, let's say, less community-minded than others. Although, with the exception of one memorable phone call when a parents was hot-miked when she thought she was muted, people generally have the grace to at least not be in-your-face rude about it. [/quote]

Thank you. Prioritizing the students most in need is the right thing to do in my mind, even though it meant my kids didn't get prioritized, which was hard.  Hopefully the hot-miked family and those with similar attitudes moved on.[/quote]

Prioritizing those kids in spring 2020 was the right thing to do.  Prioritizing those students the first term of fall 2020 was a nice thing to do.  Prioritizing those students after winter break was bat poop crazy and contrary to what the majority of states were able to do.  [/quote]

Hearst didn’t prioritize OOB students that’s just not an accurate representation of what happened.[/quote]

-1.  I know several IB families that were denied seats, despite begging the principal for relief.  While multiple OOB families were accompanied in the same class.  This is literally the opposite of what is supposed to have happened and probably illegal.  [/quote]

Parents don’t get to make that choice: it was based on student data and teacher observations. Parents don’t get to have their way just bc they want it[/quote]

You seem to have a answer for everything. So tell us why so many IB families heading for the exits?[/quote]

You’d have to ask them to be certain. My guess: Because they want a privatized experience in a public setting. [/quote]

The ability to have your kid attend in person school is now what passes for a privatized experience?  You’re out of your mind lady.  [/quote]

That’s a misrepresentation of my statement. There were limited seats at Hearst due to staff availability. Those seats, in grades that had limitations, were given to students identified by teachers and admin who would need it most. Some parents did not like that their child wasn’t given a seat, which is understandable. The way some parents handled their feelings (I.e. hot mike parent mentioned earlier) was really unsettling and made me miss the old days where it was a community that supported all students. A lot of the newer families think that the school is[b] built to serve their individual needs, rather than provide a public good[/b].
