[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Arlington Dioceses school is giving the parents a choice either btick and morter or virtual for next week.[/quote]

I’m curious - just next week or is there a plan for what happens after next week? [/quote]

Not at our school so far. Decisions will probably be made on the fly. If teacher is out, then that class goes home?  Middle school is another story. Math teacher is home. Do other teachers cover? Are there enough subs? Is Math teacher well enough to provide sub-plans (which can take a lot of time and effort btw)? Can teacher teach remotely?  Will there adult supervision in classroom if class is taught remotely?  There are so many variables.

Who can make an an effective plan in so few days?  Whatever “plan” is made, will be imperfect. Plus, how much learning will actually happen with this much disruption? What is certain, lessons plans created by teachers for this week, will mostly be thrown out the window. Teachers hard work, once again dismissed.  We will have to pivot, adjust, be flexible, understanding, work many hours beyond our contract times. Please be forgiving if your child’s teacher happens to forget something, drops the ball, is not perky!  We have a lot on our shoulders. And please, please, please, get your kids vaxxed!  All K-8 students are elible for the vaccine! [/quote]
