[quote=Anonymous]DL - Not worth the risk for reasons outlines below. Four(4) days are better than two(2) days. We also have concerned due to diabetic family member. 
We were not happy with spring online learning, but it wasn't bad either (mainly due to awesome AAP teacher). 
After hearing our school principal, seems AAP DL should be as good as in-school teaching. AAP teacher will be assigned to DL. Grading/assessment strategy is not yet defined but hopefully there will be something in place by the time school opens. Fall DL program will definitely better than spring experience . 
Another concern is various sites/articles are suggesting (worldometer prediction) things could get worst for Virginia :(
Schools are not going to be same this year. There is no play time. Face mask is mandatory (how much of it will be enforced is anyone’s guess!). Desks will be facing forward and 3-6 feet apart. 
No group work, limited opportunities for conversations with friends, no sharing materials, limited opportunities to move around the room. Lunch in the classroom and possibly limited recess. If someone is infected, whole class goes online.
If teacher is sick, then substitute teacher is required. Usually they never teach in class. This has happened to us in AAP lvl IV base school during normal time.
All this risk for 2 days a week (3-3.5 hrs/day study time) in-school experience. 
So many countries (e.g. Israel) have reopened schools and closed again. I just can’t see how we will be different!!
