[quote=Anonymous]Mixed feelings yes, but there are not just 2 solutions. In person or DL. 
There are a million things in between and how disappointing it is as a parent that schools are only providing these 2 options as if there are not other options. 
You can have highschool DL while have grade schools in person. You can restructure classes to make them smaller and utilize support staff in new ways who may not be needed (librarians for example). You can offer new school hours or new locations (like high schools not being used). You can offer outdoor classes as weather permits.

All we parents here are excuses and that DL is amazing yet what we have been shown in Spring was far from amazing and was quite frankly, phoned in at best (were there a rare few good ones? Don't know, every parent i know only had 1 zoom meeting a week to play games or do show and tell).

Why not try DL for a month and if certain benchmarks aren't met then it is not working. Or better yet, try in person with some modifications that aren't thrown together like we are back in March. They have had months to figure this out.

For teachers to say Parents need to parent. I agree. But my job as a parent is not to be the sole educator of my children. If you think it is then we need to reevaluate where our tax dollars are going because schools will never be needed again. [/quote]
