You got DL for all for a semester and will likely get to keep it another quarter still. So those who choose hybrid might get one quarter of their choice. So you got your way 3/4 of the year. I think you can suck it up.

Did they pick DL...or did the survey default them to DL? Either way, hybrid kids deserve the chance to go back if one is afforded.

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.

This didn’t age well. The district whose numbers have been released and I was correct and you were incorrect. District-wide it’s 59% DL/41% hybrid.

Look at high school

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

We know. You are why so many teachers are sitting in meetings today contemplating quitting.

Bye. They suck.

Hope they scram.

They really don’t. They’re some of the best teachers I know and their loss would be a loss for the profession. You don’t actually have to be such a horrible person you know. There is nothing that requires you to be this hateful.

At our staff meeting principal conveyed two eye opening pieces of information.

- the district was shocked to see how many students / parents selected DL for the second semester (it seems many forget that questionnaire was a choice for the remainder of the year).

- principal believes we will be doing Q3 in DL considering the metrics LCPS has selected will be reached by/around Thanksgiving and thus the sheer number of virtual students will permeate into Q4 considering it’s absurd to change and revamp the logistics for the last 8 weeks.
