[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Studies show it is about 1) politics (bluer voters means more likely to stay closed, but NYC and others can make an exception) and 2) power of the teacher’s unions.

In FCPS’s specific case the school board being utter novices has to be a factor.[/quote]

NJ and MA have kids in school though so it’s not just Republican states with kids back. [/quote]

Everywhere is different in MA. I know teachers there who have been remote all year because covid numbers are high in their district. I know many schools in MA have one teacher per grade level that’s remote all year for the families who chose it and the rest are hybrid. I don’t know any besides catholic schools that are back five days a week for kids but there could be.

CT and MA have small districts based on city/town- not on county like in VA. I think the problem is larger districts have a harder time finding a solution. Not all of CA had been remote all year but Los Angeles has been and that’s a big county.

Everywhere is just different and it’s harder to figure out a plan that pleases parents, teachers, and kids... especially in a larger county. Many parents and teachers just want to be back and other are concerned and want to remain remote. Cant please ‘em all....[/quote]
