[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DL is going well for us. We were on board with the initial hybrid plan that included 3 asynchronous days. At least that would be a break from virtual slides and presentations by the teachers. Kids would actually have time to complete work. I don’t like this new concurrent plan because it short changes both groups. I don’t think it’s worth the risk to send my kid in for 2 days, only to have the teacher trying to deal with both the virtual and in class kids simultaneously. This is totally ridiculous and will be a disaster. The only reason they have moving to this new plan is because SOLs aren’t waived. They need 4 days of instruction to even attempt the SOLs. Anyone agree?[/quote]

Schools should be in person 5 days a week, if you want virtual you can watch a video of the class. end of thread .[/quote]

No one agrees with you.  We can’t have 5 days of school safely given the class sizes in FCPS.  Get. Over. It.[/quote]

DP. I agree with her.[/quote]

Another DP and I also agree. [/quote]
NP: This is not something you can "agree" with as FCPS does not have the physical space to have students come 5 days a week and maintain the required socially distanced standard.  That's like saying we all "agree" that the pandemic should be over--who doesn't, but it's not an option.  If FCPS were an underenrolled school system like some rural areas or dying cities this might work, but it's not the case here.[/quote]

With 3' of distance, they could.

If we actually valued our children, we would find ways to make it happen. Our values are clear to see.[/quote]

Really, have you actually seen the class blueprints? Because it wouldn’t work at our school. The kids have way less than that amount of space.  Guess your school has small classes. Ours doesn’t. Maybe people actually looked at this and realized: (1) the CDC guidance is 6 feet, and (2) there’s not enough space even if you tried for 3 feet? But go ahead and question everyone’s values. Safety clearly isn’t one of yours.

Safety is a priority for us. This includes valuing our physical health and our mental health, especially that of our children, all of our children. We even value education, which, despite efforts by teachers, isn't happening now.[/quote]
