[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school has very effective virtual school that kicked in on Tuesday. It’s been more disruptive to things like choir and theater that can’t go online, and one class has swapped a test to a day next week. All other classes have been largely unaffected.

Admittedly this is HS; it would be far more disruptive for young kids for whom synchronous classes don’t work well.

Parents should advocate for better online school for these infrequent events of multi-day campus closures. [/quote]

Why can't choir and theater go online?  They do so at other schools.

Obviously there are specific skills that can't be taught online, but that's true in almost every subject.  If science teachers are required to rework their curriculum so that a scheduled lab day becomes a lecture or worksheet day, choir and theater teachers can rework their curriculum too.

Well theater can’t go online because it’s the afterschool activity and it’s very hard to build sets at home. My guess is maybe the actors are meeting but my techie kid is not.

And yeah, choir online is not functional. Clearly you’ve never tried it. [/quote]
