[quote=Anonymous]There are several problems with VPL.  One obvious problem I see, in looking at the teacher recruitment, is that it specifically says you can be reassigned to teach in a school building at any time.  So that means that you are signing on to teach wherever APS needs you, whether that be virtual or in-person.  Teaching virtually appears to be a very different skill set than teaching in person.   There might be appropriate candidates outside the geographic area who have the skill set to teach virtually- but APS is restricting the candidate pool to those who are able to teach virtually or in-person.

Another failure I see is that APS is pretending that virtual is 'equivalent' to in person.  It's not and never can be.  The 'equivalent' to in-person would be home bound instruction.  This has existed for a long time for children who, for a variety of reasons, can't attend school in person.   Those children who have a medical necessity to not come to school would be vastly better served by home bound instruction, rather than by being thrown into a 'virtual' class with a substitute.
