[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our preference is DL.  However, DD wants to see some of her classmates at least, whichever option we choose, and so far, all her friends are doing in person.  It would be a no brainer if we had some assurance that DL will be with kids from her school, and especially with a teacher from her school, but in the absence of that, we're leaning in person.[/quote]

For my ES kids, not being guaranteed classmates and teacher from same school is concerning. But I think most will have at least some kids from school, and large centers might have teacher from same school. They probably won’t guarantee anything because they need to accommodate ratio for in person first. I am more worried about teacher because we love teachers at our school. As for friends, they will be grouping with neighboring schools and I will think of it as an opportunity for kids to meet new friends. Mine are still young and would do fine with it. [/quote]

I think we have figured out sort of a way around all this.  DD and her friends are all doing in person.  That leaves 3 days of being left up to their own devices.  We're forming a small study group of the girls, so they can get together (virtually) on the days they're not in school, to do homework, and to learn new material.  It might mean that they're only doing this once a week (Monday), but 3 days of peer interaction and studying is better than 2 days.  A friend of mine has kids a grade level ahead, and has given me some of their school work, and combined with whatever is online for FCPS, I think I can cobble together a curriculum, and make sure that the girls do whatever little extras they can do from home, to keep up.  I have work flexibility, thankfully, and can supervise if necessary.  [/quote]
