[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No devices sounds great. Until there is some event and kids can’t go to school in person for whatever reason.

March 12 2020 - no one really was thinking pandemic  that closes everything down
March 13 2020 - there is a pandemic and everything is go to shut down

now replace pandemic will some other event that will close down a school. It will never happen you think until it happens.

Look how many teachers and admins didn’t even know what Zoom was or for that matter an online meeting.

APS had no idea how even get the tech setup for online meetings.

The bottom line is that devices have to be part of planning for events that might disrupt in person school. Id they drop it when needed the curve to get things on track will be even bigger.[/quote]
The only students who wouldn't have 1:1 devices would be K-2 and, as a parent who supervised that age in virtual instruction during COVID, nothing short of another deadly global pandemic would necessitate virtual instruction for that age group.  And even then it might not be worth it unless the closure went on for months and months.  I'm willing to take that risk.[/quote]
