[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will be what it looks like for 6-12. So consider that  carefully for your kid in 6-12. Teachers may be in the room (not aides) but they will teach to the device.  For concurrent, even at the highest hybrid schools (looking at you WMS) , 65%!or more of the kids will be home for each  class under the concurrent model. Teachers have to teach through the device.

Yes. I have TWO groups of students to teach at once. My attention cannot be devoted to the few kids in the room exclusively. I can’t go within 6 feet of students or them me. They still need to be independently engaged and on task or hybrid isn’t going to be anymore beneficial to them than at home DL was. [/quote]

So you think kids in hybrid will simply get up and walk away from the desk to look out a window with to the same frequency they do when they’re at home with their cameras off?  And that if they do, you’ll be incapable of seeing them and telling them to sit back down?[/quote]

Someone quietly looking out the window?  That hardly merits a comment.  I am trying to teach the kids below grade level, entertain the more advanced and bored kids, keep the disruptive kids in line, address whatever administrative task has come down the pipe, and put out other random fires.  I love these IEPs which assume teachers are always readily on hand to provide the “gentle nudge” that an ADHD kid needs to get back on task.  I am sympathetic.  I am ADHD, myself, but I really don’t know what people expect when they assign 30 of kids of widely different levels and various behavior problems to a classroom with a single human supervisor.
