You aren’t alone.
Concurrent is unfair to teachers, in person students, and virtual students.
+1000
I teach in a district that started at 100% virtual and is now concurrent, and I will tell you concurrent is truly a horrible model. 100% virtual was much more effective.
Everyone needs to understand as well this is the fault of a board that bent to the shrieks of the loudest, most privileged 20%. The numbers show that overwhelmingly families did not select hybrid , likely because they felt winter wasn’t safe or concurrent was such a horrible compromise it wasn’t worth it. My own students confirm this. EVERYONE will lose because no DL isn’t great but it’s better than having the class split and the teacher teaching two groups at once from a less advantageous setup in the school. How well do you think your kids will be able to understand a teacher speaking to them through a mask, through a screen, in a room in which other students could be creating background noise? Right now my house is quiet, Internet is good, kids can see my whole face.
But no. In person kids will do crappy DL, at home kids will do crappy DL, teachers will be held responsible for both being “successful” and more people will get sick. Because a small contingent of privileged parents yelled loudly and long enough.
Good.
And we are organized and have plans to keep yhe yelling up.
Constant mobilization.
Constant action
Constant fundraising
Constant pressure

This is completely false. Its about 60/40 HL/DL
No it isn’t. I can see them by grade and school level.
Well you aren’t looking at our school then. Principal shared the numbers.
Correct. I am looking at ALL schools. District wide the numbers are 70-80% DL. Some grade levels in high schools have <100 kids who picked hybrid.
That seems high. Are you putting all those who haven’t responded in hybrid? Anyway, we’ll know soon enough when the results are published. I just hope they don’t take the DL numbers to mean people are happy with it. They just think hybrid is worse.
Um, it is worse. There will now be whole classes of kids sitting at home trying to learn through a screen from a masked teacher sitting in a building with crappy internet for the 0-3 kids in that class who picked to come to school.
Some of the advantages I consistently see touted here (comfort of their home, not waking up early, no commuting, getting snacks whenever they want, etc.) will still be there.
Yeah which is why 80% of them picked it. Yet all teachers have to go in the buildings.

You think it was because parents yelled loudly enough? If so, great news...mission accomplished.

Geez. It’s ok. Privates are doing this and it’s fine.
She’s looking at this from a teacher perspective. It may be fine for you, but teachers don’t consider having to work 70 hour weeks to be “fine”
Maybe private school teachers are just smarter and more capable? 🤷♀️

Can you cry louder? Can’t hear you with all that melting.

When does LCPS post results about choices? Did they use smartmatic and dominion systems for gathering data?
