[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To add, I’m the PP who said my friend was told at a meeting by Brabrand the fall plan includes concurrent. It is 5 days. But the current plan, as my friend was told, is that there is not a separate virtual plan/system being stood up. Virtual kids will be taught concurrently by in person teachers. Which would be a disaster, which is why I sincerely hope that plan changes. The only reason for this I can see is the funds/logistics/staffing isn’t there for a county as big as FCPS to stand up a separate virtual option. [/quote]

A comment on this - some of the local catholic schools have been doing this all year.  The big difference is usually there is only 1 or 2 kids zooming in from home, so it has not been a huge burden on the teachers and has not had a negative impact on home or in person learners from what I have heard.  Class sizes at some catholic schools are smaller to, making this less cumbersome.

If there is only 1 or 2 students zooming in from home, concurrent might be more easily achieved with no detriment to any party (teachers, in person learners, home learners).  I think the issue is - once again - the sheer size of FCPS and liklihood it is more then 1 or 2 kids per class, which makes it MUCH harder for teachers.[/quote]
