[quote=Anonymous]My impression was that Duran polled the elementary school principals about returning to a 4 day school week for the youngest kids and got a sort of "aw hell no" response based on lunch and other spacing issues.  I think it's possible that Arlington elementaries are pretty overcrowded at this point that trying to fit 25 kids in these rooms with the spacings wasn't going to work -- like, if you could only fit 18 with the required spacing, then you would need to have some kids in one room and another half in another room, and then don't you need another teacher or aide to cover both rooms?  Whereas if you continue with hybrid you keep one teacher for both sets of kids?

I understand that some parents, especially parents of young elementary school kids who truly struggle with ipad learning as well as Glebe parents generally, were really unhappy with the way things turned out, but I hope they can get beyond this (or not and go private if they can and feel they need to) and get back into things next year.  APS is not your enemy.  Dr. Duran is not a bad person, he is not lazy, he is a man in a trying situation who is doing his best.  [/quote]
