[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not want a permanent DL option supported. I think that raises severe equity and segregation issues, and it routes funding to a population that needs it least. [/quote]

Honestly, I don’t either. It’s not what the public schools are good at and it’s not consistent with their mission for the long term. I WOULD like to see lessons learned in virtual — where it has better served ASD and SN kids for example — taken back to the physical classroom. Long term, resources should be focused on making the in-school experience equitably optimal for all kinds of kids.[/quote]

Except some SN families are saying DL is better.  So, why do you feel the need to dismiss an educational plan that is working for them.  If your kids return to school and others, choose not to, that helps kids in person as there is less overcrowding and more attention given to the in person students.  The goal should be meeting all kids needs and in person one size fits all doesn't work for all kids and families.  It takes nothing away from your kids going in person to set up a DL school for kids who are doing well at it.  I would have loved DL for ES for my SN child.  We could have focused more on private therapies and supplement and more importantly provide the needed support that school refused despite us trying.   [/quote]

Most posters have mentioned using DL for medical and special needs kids with specific needs served by DL (as well as home and hospital). The objection is to DL for anyone who wants it. Many of us question whether a parallel DL model is an appropriate use of resources that will benefit the students who need it most. [/quote]
