Middle school. We have several of my child's teachers teaching from home. WTF.  They have to type their questions into their laptop even with the in person teachers.  Again. WTF.

It is almost like they set it all up out of spite.  The kids are still looking at the screens.  But, they are enjoying being around other kids.[/quote]

Sadly I agree with the spite intent. I think APS is trying very hard to get more kids to commit to virtual. It would solve a lot of their problems and alleviate them from actually making the effort to do their job the right way. ridiculous[/quote]

GMAFB. If they didn’t do concurrent they’d have to change the teacher assignments - again. Or have three asynchronous days for the hybrid kids.

It’s not a great solution but the best one we have given the circumstances. And it’s disgusting that some parents are trying to vilify teachers/APS for doing their best during a deadly pandemic. Truly disgusting.

PP here - I wasn't vilifying teachers, my response was directed at APS. I personally love most of my children's teachers and know they are doing the best with the hand they are dealt. APS is to blame for the horrific rollout. [/quote]

Like I said, it’s disgusting that some parents are trying to vilify APS for doing their best during a deadly pandemic. Truly disgusting.

What do you want - you want them to swap around the teachers again?

I’m not pp, but if it is true that principals are allowed to let their teachers continue teaching from home just because they want to, that is a massive failure that needs to be corrected quickly. That’s not APS “doing their best.”[/quote]

Deciding which teachers work from home vs. school is an APS decision. It's not a "failure".

The PPs were complaining about concurrent. The point was that the decision to go with concurrent was NOT made out of spite - they were trying to avoid reshuffling class assignments again.

[/quote]Choosing to have 7 yos get only an hour of in person learning, with the rest via Teams as a result of teacher preference, is a failure of APS to set guidelines.[/quote]

the lawyers for the lawsuit against APS must be gobbling this up. [/quote]
