[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like nothing has been resolved since DCPS initially introduced this plan. We are still going to have in-person seats that will not go to those most in need with regards to certain IEPs, covid numbers are worse than they've ever been, many DL students will lose the teacher they've had for 5 months, DL classes will become even larger, and some teachers will have to simulcast. What exactly was addressed?

Also, what does this mean for Term 4? If teachers get vaccinated by then and covid numbers hopefully go down, more teachers will likely agree to do in-person, as will more parents. Do you then switch the kids back to their original teachers? Or are we assuming that the kids who get in-person are the only ones who will have it for the remainder of the year? It just feels like this is all so short-sighted. And please before you attack me for not wanting kids with needs and at-risk children to get a proper education, that is not what I'm saying at all. I 100% believe those kids should be in class, but I continue to believe this plan has so many flaws. [/quote]

Other than this Hearst monstrosity, I think most schools are done for the year.  Once they open with the cohorts there isn’t going to be any more coming back.  There is no way a principal is going to redo classes a third time this year. So you are right, this is it.

It’s even more disgusting that they aren’t opening their self contained classes.  There needs to be a serious discussion about why kids who are I. Self contained autism classes are not going back.  That is exactly who should be returning. [/quote]

You have no idea if all the the teachers there qualified for FMLA and ADA. I am a CES teacher myself and I am returning even though I qualified for FMLA. Not all self contained classrooms are not opening. I only feel comfortable because I only have 3 students returning. Now I'll just have to figure out how to teach the others online at the same time, keep the same energy and make their home materials.[/quote]
