[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]in our Ward 4 school, demand was almost nil. Like 10 students for a 500-student elementary school.[/quote]

Not sure I believe this. If this is really the case then I would suspect that there has not been support for reopening starting at the top. Has your principal signaled that it would be a bad experience? I feel like our principal did this when CARES classrooms were shaping up. He’d send these messages to make it sound as unappealing as possible. It was almost comical it was so easy to see what he was at. I have a dear friend who has been behaving like this too. She is very determined that they will not go back inperson and each time I suggest that I would consider it she tries to overwhelm me with resources and numbers while insinuating that parents who want their kids to go back are irresponsible/lazy/selfish. I really think it’s her sense of FOMO talking. For me, it’s about the teacher. My child’s teacher will be teaching inperson and I love her so we may take a spot. [/quote]

Follow-up we ended up turning down the spot. My third grader doesn't know any other friends who are going in person so it was really difficult to convince her. And now I'm hearing rumors about a teacher strike and the last thing I want is sending my daughter to school with the promise that her teacher will be there and it turns out to be a sad, scary day of a practically empty school with administrators as "subs." No thanks. [/quote]
