[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there truth to this? What the heck? I'm at a loss of words and hope it's an inflated rumor. [/quote]

It’s true, and one of several reasons we decided to keep our first grader home/virtual. I totally support  reasonable mitigation measures— masks, no sustained close interactions, etc. But it’s like they’ve worked hard to make sure any social benefits of returning to school are deleted. Hard not to wonder if it’s an intentional attempt to discourage people from choosing hybrid by making it unnecessarily miserable for the kids. [/quote]

my thoughts exactly - making hybrid miserable so folks revert to distance. how are they getting away with this lunacy is my question.[/quote]

My child is in baltimore county public schools and this is truly the impression I got. Apparently way too many kindergarteners opted for hybrid over distance learning, and the teacher was like “it might not be possible to bring all of the students back if they all elect to come back. So I just wanted to make sure all parents understood what the day would look like” and it was like, recess 6 feet apart and not on the playground or with any shared equipment, all class would continue to be done via Google meets on the chromebooks while at their desks, separated by plexiglass , with a teacher up front separated by plexiglass, and the staff is at no point allowed to come within 6 feet of a child even if they need help with their schoolwork.

I mean it worked, basically no one is sending their kindergartner in anymore, and a good portion finally just withdrew to homeschool for the year.[/quote]

Ridiculous. These fools are in charge of our kids for 6+ hours/day?
