[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Concurrent has been working in numerous jurisdictions and private schools - it works well.[/quote]

Which jurisdictions and private schools?  [/quote]

It doesn’t work “well.” The teachers are ragged. They forget the online kids. They spend a lot of time reminding in person kids about masks and distance and handling bathroom requests and whatnot which disrupts instruction for the online kids. They have to finagle ways to try to make in person resemble in person without compromising mitigation. I am a teacher and I know many in multiple states. This is exhausting. We will do it but please don’t be fooled because it happens it happened “well.” [/quote]

I am a teacher that has been doing concurrent since Fall in Arlington.  I take great offense to this and it is not true.  The first few weeks were tough but kids are so adaptable and shockingly enough they wear their masks, wash their hands, and follow the rules because it it the routine.

The online kids are just as good.  They ask permission to leave the screen for the bathroom, they do not eat during class and they act as if they are in the classroom.  My public school teacher friends are not even afforded that respect. Perhaps you naysayers are right - concurrent will not work for public school kids because the strict parenting is not there. In the first few weeks we had some slight issues with kids and would reach out to the parents - the kids came in the next day and lo and behold the mask stayed on without any problems.

As a teacher, we can do it and any teacher that says they cannot it just being negative or they are lazy.  Kids can most certainly do and EXCEL.  It amazes me all the negativity on here.[/quote]
