[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP mention that K kids will have direct teacher instruction in person 4 days and wednesday virtual in March, for real? No looking at monitors/chromebook for 4 days a week in person, that is exciting news to hear!! Is it because only 50% of K kids chosen to go in person, so the school building can make these accommodation?  I hope that reflects hope that more young elementary grades kids will have direct teacher instruction days in the fall when more kids choose to come in person.....[/quote]

My daughter attends a school that considered doing this because we had about a 50% of kindergarteners wanting to go back and 50% virtual but then that meant that 50% of students would have to switch teachers (including a lot of virtual students ) and parents at my school were extremely vocal about not wanting to have their child change teachers in March so the principal decided to keep it with support to virtual. [/quote]

According to the email we got, we would have our current teachers.  There was a brief, oblique reference for the potential for changes, but if the principal thought that adjustments would actually have to be made, it would be a weird way to first address the issue.

It is interesting your school's reactions. I would have thought that more people would have preferred to have actual in-person, even if it meant some people switching to other teachers.  (Critically, assuming I understood you, these are other actual K teachers at the school, not random folks hired off the street.)  While not ideal, many would view it as better than "support to virtual," which is nothing more than current DL.  But, maybe my views are skewed by the fact that we have already had a few teachers this year because of a maternity leave and, while I would prefer my kid not to lose his teacher, I've heard good things about the other one's as well and he is used to new faces.[/quote]
