[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The key is avoiding politicization.

What drives me a little crazy is that when I talk to parents in DCPS, they mostly want similar things.  They're mostly reasonable.  Most parents are keeping their kids home, and those who are sending them into school have a higher risk tolerance and support older or at-risk teachers staying home.

And both groups are very very happy teachers are being vaccinated.  The people who are most pushing back against the WTU are, in my world, the media and in-person, hardcore political partisans.

We don't want that!  We want this de-politicized.  But if you want to depoliticize it, we have to understand first who is politicizing it, and why.  Once I read these articles a lot more about school reopenings became clear to me.[/quote]

it is politicized because of the blue states and their absolute disregard for children.

there is absolutely no reason schools should still be closed in blue states when its going fine in red ones. its insanity.  [/quote]

What is the source for this data?

Is this the % of total number of K-12 students by state that have zero days in the classroom?

Or is this % of school districts that only offer a virtual option?

The #s seem off....

Sorry if confusing, this is percent breakdown by state for all students nationwide that have zero classroom days.

Here's a maybe better or more useful visualization within each state itself. Fulltime in person means 5 day a week.

Damn. That is really stark. It will be interesting to see comparisons of the results of large-scale assessments this year. Sadly, I don't anticipate we will measure up, but the data will probably lead to a good dissertation on a quasi-experimental intervention study on the connection between in-person hours and test scores.[/quote]

NP and data scientist.  I’ve been following this for months here and in the other countries I work with.  There are a lot of similar data analysis and done with deeper data with more cuts on degree of hybrid etc.  It’s maddening that it’s not reported more widely on how many schools have been open for months and the degree to which they have been opened.

I don’t want this political but transparency on facts widely And fully reported.  Also schools have been opened in many countries with lesser guidelines than the US.  That should be reported objectively And full data transparency not anecdotal stories or a point in time .   Yes some schools in other countries close during extreme Community spread  for a few weeks but they reopen and have been over for many more cumulative months .  The damage done to a generation of kids - particularly the most vulnerable -  is devastating. [/quote]

Have you seen any data for the actual # of kids by state by DL/hybrid/IP? Something that would more accurately show the scale of the various options?

This one was a wonky weighted estimate based on school districts, not kids.
