[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did Salmon say about A/B days or alternate weeks?[/quote]

She said the MD Together Recovery Plan outlines ideas and suggestions that systems can use to recover...and cited those as examples of things that could be considered.  She clarified that there are no mandates in that document.[/quote]

Thank you.  Was that as Phase 2 or for the fall?  [/quote]

She didn't specify but did say that "full return" could not be until Phase 3...Phase 2 could include small groups of students with social distancing in place (like for small group instruction for students with disabilities)[/quote]

Well since we are miraculously at phase 1 next week I’m pretty sure they’ll be back in school in the fall.[/quote]

You are pretty wrong. Phase 3 is vaccine or effective treatment. Not anytime soon. [/quote]No it’s not.
Schools are 100% open in the fall.[/quote]

Read the Plan. Read the words. Read. [/quote]

I have. Are you saying that Hogan says kids are not going back to school until there’s a vaccine? Because thats 100% false. Sorry to burst your bubble.[/quote]

If you listened to the Superintendent of Schools today - the school boards are going to be given extraordinary latitude to fashion educational responses in Phase II - it's not going to be anything like what we had prior to covid - she talked about going to school on alternate days or weeks - smaller class sizes with no movement between classrooms, still some distance learning, etc. etc.  Give up on the fantasy that this will all be over by August.  We are in this for the long haul, and fortunately, we have some smart, dedicated people who are going to try to put systems in place to handle this.  That said, as smart,dedicated parents, it is incumbent on all of us for our children to figure out what we want for our individual children - and start putting in place that scaffolding now - Do you want your high schooler to enroll in college classes online (because they may be able to - and it would be challenging) - Do you want to engage a tutor for your ES or MS'er to supplement what will likely be less than ideal educational programming from the county?  What would an ideal learning plan look like for your child?  What does your child need?  You have time to figure that out, and leaving it up to the County to 100% figure it out is not fair to them or to your kids.

Yes to all of this.

Parents need to figure out what they want/need to do.  This is not going to fix itself anytime soon.  [/quote]
