Come over to the dark side if you are having FOMO!

We’ll be even by the end of the year then. My child spent half the year suffering through DL and now your child can suffer through concurrent the last half of the school year! Lose-lose!

With winter (cold & flu) season around the corner and not leaving until end of March you can rest assured DL will be pushed until beginning of Q4. By then, they’ll just wrap up the year.

Oh, and HS sports will he cancelled again.

That’s the plan. But I’m a fellow HS teacher and part of me just isn’t willing to believe it’ll actually happen. Sending us back after winter break when people have been inside a lot and traveling to see family and with numbers in the country already rising ... feels like it doesn’t bode well.

Q2 is DL.


Q3 is supposed to be hybrid.

I haven’t seen any other thing saying differently. Have I missed an email?

Is concurrent basically the same as DL but inside the classroom? If so, besides asking questions in person what other real benefits are there? The exposure is there and cases will spike. Is that better than DL?

Maybe. For basic teachers that's what it is.

Was the usage of the adjective basic an attempt to pejoratively address professional who teach our children?

Or was it rather a lack of knowledge on your behalf and meant to insert and adverb there saying “basically that’s what’ll be for teachers?”

Grammar is very important. Please clarify.

Yes. Basic teachers will park the in-person students on their laptops, recreating SRS without the sides. Good teachers will teach the in-person students and the DL students, sometimes synchronously and sometimes one group or the other.

What does the acronym SRS stand for?

The DL crowd is a majority in LCPS. They won't lose out.
