[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I have trouble understanding how DCUM is so antiscreens, and yet also wants a plan where we go back to 1:1 devices that travel with kids.

Similarly, I have trouble believing that DCUM is up in arms that school, and school based closings present challenges for working parents, and is now advocating something that would be impossible for many families using group childcare or working from home while supervising to manage.

The costs of virtual days would be high.  To say that schools should do it because it might yield a tiny bit of learning, is absurd because it ignores those costs.

I lean towards the anti screens side and also support virtual learning during long snow closures.  Just because you ensure that the fraction of kids whose parents don't own computers have a school computer to bring home before a big storm, doesn't at all mean that those kids need to be using computers on a daily basis in the classroom.  Totally separate issues.[/quote]

So tired of people on their high horses acting as if a short period of virtual learning after a huge ice storm will harm their kids.  Good grief.  Virtual learning in that scenario needs to meet a minimal threshold; it needs to be superior to adding days at the end of the school where a large percentage of the student population will be absent.  It meets that requirement.  Done![/quote]

Equally tired of parents acting like a few snow days will harm their kids.[/quote]
