[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly this is what happens. They beat you down for so long and so hard that you just say forget it, what's even the point. And everyone submits to a new normal.  Unless there's a loud and opposing group voicing concerns months ago, this was not going to change. Remember this and remember to vote for school choice so you are not stuck with bare minimum options in the future. [/quote]

GMAFB. APS handled the pandemic in a reasonable manner. Get over it.

You GMAFB, [b]how is every other school system back 4/5 days a week[/b]?  APS is not reasonable, not even close.  And don't get me started about this summer school fiasco[/quote]

Not true. MANY other school systems are still hybrid or only have a fraction of kids in school 4 days.

More than 29% are hybrid (doesn't include kids who select virtual hybrid over fulltime)

FCPS only offered 4 days to some kids who were already hybrid. Not systemwide.

FCPS, like many schools districts, gave parents several attempts to choose hybrid or virtual. They were clear you couldn’t move between the two after you made your most recent choice. The point is that FCPS saw that there were changes coming and planned for that possibility.They could not implement a plan immediately, because they didn’t know what the change might be but they communicated right after the 6 to 3 feet announcement that FCPS was looking at how to implement that change.

It wasn’t smooth but the vast majority of the kids who were attending 2 days had the option of attending 4 days. And while no one is thrilled with concurrent, there is far less whining and complaining, at least among the ES crowd, now that the kids are back 4 days a week. I am surprised that the parents of kids in virtual are not revolting because concurrent seems to have meant far less virtual instruction.

All of the recent CDC changes were projected weeks in advance, there was no good reason for schools to prepare for what was being discussed ahead of the announcements. You didn’t need a crystal ball to see these things coming. [/quote]
