[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Europe can afford to go back to virtual because so many of their kids have been in-person. That means there is less urgency to get back because the mental health and learning loss are much lower than here. We should have been back from the start so we could build in breaks during surges.

I'm pushing back on claims of learning loss.

What data do you have to show that virtual schooling results in learning loss?  Has it ever been tried before in the US to this extent?[/quote]

In my house it's just common sense.  Our DL is so bad that my child won't even log in anymore.  It's basically just a teach yourself method, which only a few kids are able to do in elementary school.  So I know he's not learning anything, because he's not even "attending" anymore.[/quote]

1) What school district?

2) If DL is so bad, what makes you think his teacher will be any better at hybrid/concurrent?  How will she distance teach half the class as well as teach half the class in person?[/quote]

I'm not one of the open fcps people.  All I've asked for all along is better instruction, but fcps has been deaf to that.  In my opinion, it's the people demanding to open schools no matter what who caused the schools to focus only on reopening plans and not on making DL better.

I have doubts that concurrent will be any better, although I have a friend with a child in concurrent in another system and she says it's better.  Not great, but better.[/quote]
