[quote=Anonymous][quote]I was so looking forward to just having a regular school year.

This fall for elementary school looks like it is going to be complete chaos. Our back to school staff messaging contains nothing about how we are going to deal with instructional ramifications of the many absences and quarantines that are bound to occur. From the school district's perspective it seems like we are just plunging forward expecting things to be perfectly normal. Absolutely no discussion of virtual or hybrid instruction for kids who are quarantined or what we will do if teachers are out. No discussion of how we will handle all the as yet unfilled teacher positions.

So whatever happens is going to be reactive, not proactive. They will tell teachers we need to come up with "alternative assignments" for students out of school for 10-15 days each time. Then parents will complain and they will flip us to providing hybrid instruction as we did last year. I DON'T WANT TO TEACH HYBRID again. I just can't do it.

I just can't do this whole thing. I just want it to all go away.[/quote]

What school district?  Ours is having kids who are in quarantine live stream their classes from home during the quarantine period.  My son is in 6th, though, which is middle school where we live.

No one wants to deal with COVID again.  Parents don't, teachers don't, kids don't.  But, that's the reality of this world at present.[/quote]
