[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been chill this year because this is a new and fluid situation. I will lose my shit next year if they do concurrent. There is no reason for it. Use Virtual Virginia or home school. Adults and teenagers will be vaccinated. There is no reason to not send kids to school.

No concurrent. Just no. Nope. Nope. Nope.[/quote]

I did some part time virtual teaching this year. I wAnt to be back in the classroom next year. But this is giving me pause. I’m a little nervous to apply for jobs and then find concurrent to be happening. Wondering if other people feel the same.

Brabrand needs to come out and say FOR SURE that there will be no concurrent. That was a temporary solution many schools used but not sustainable for regular education. [/quote]

A teacher friend of mine in Fairfax said Brabrand said it will be concurrent. The hope apparently is if the choice for virtual is concurrent fewer families will pick it. My friend is freaking out because they don’t know if they can do concurrent again. Hoping the board overrides if that’s indeed the plan. It is not ok to do concurrent for another year. Teachers nor parents think so. [/quote]

He can't say no to it all together. They do t have enough plannedbfor the fall to eliminate it completely.[/quote]

I’m saying this as a teacher and a parent, every single resource needs to be going to the plan that ensures concurrent doesn’t have to happen. It is not effective. It isn’t sustainable. And when MOST kids are in person and only a couple are at home but we have to teach them too, they will be forgotten and left behind. It isn’t possible to balance 20+ in person kids’ needs and supervision AND equitably teach a few on the device. It NEEDS to be separate. [/quote]

I agree, but they haven't surveyed the families or asked for documentation. We have no idea how large or small the group will be.[/quote]

The virtual group will be small, very small next year.

Tye only reason it ended up this size was the idotic 2 day and concurrent model with vaccinated teachers phoning it in from home.[/quote]

How can you assume it will be small, when we know nothing about it? I think it's unrealistic to believe that the numbers will from 50% this year down to less than 5% next year.[/quote]
