                I’m ready to pick virtual at this point just so this crazy train is over for my kid. I think virtual is sub par and I’d like to see her go back in when it’s safer, which really could be this year. But if they force the issue now, I guess she’s virtual the rest of the year.

This is what many of us already did. We weren’t die hard DL types but forced into it by APS’s insistence that you couldn’t switch. It sucks. And it’s not good for kids.

100% this. We chose virtual because we saw the writing on the wall. It sucks, and there were only about 12 kids in a grade of 80 who did. I’m not pushing teachers back when it’s not safe, and you know it’s not safe.

Yes. We are part of the 20% minority at our school. Didn’t want DL for the year but didn’t like the way APS kept being shifty about metrics. Now, we are stuck in DL for the year. But preferable to being forced in with virus spinning out of control. Really a nightmare. This is how teachers, who have no choice, feel too.

Except up until about 5 minutes ago[b], the teacher's choice was THE main factor. That's why we didn't go back in person at all in August. Not enough of them wanted to do it. [/b]That was really the only reason. What other profession had that kind of choice? Look at the list of frontline essential workers grouped in 1b vaccine. https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/content/uploads/sites.../2021/01/Phase-1b-In-Depth.pdf
All people who have been doing their jobs in person since March 2020. All people who genuinely can't stay 6 feet from others while doing their jobs.

I think teachers were too unreasonable and now their bluff is being called and it sucks for all of us. This whole situation was mishandled. The kids could have been back safely for part of the Fall and everyone could have stayed home now. But now lots of these kids are failing, the assessments came in and make everyone look REALLY bad, and they're panicking, which they kind of should be.[/quote]

You clearly do not work for APS. Are you aware that many APS teachers were never even consulted about the fall decisions? Stop blaming the teachers for decisions that are way above their pay grade.[/quote]
