I think a lot of families picked hybrid but have NO INTENTION of sending their kids back anytime soon. The whole selection was silly. They keep changing/eliminating the metrics.

They can’t send back middle and high school without weekly random testing of students. Not enough data to demonstrate safety for kids over 10 indoors like that. That’s what NYC was doing before they went back BN

I have heard the teacher and assistant talk about how much they want to be back in the building, so there is probably some momentum at least from the K-2 teachers to get this going.

It is happening. Preparations are underway.

Yes.. finally put this into perspective.

Can you elaborate?

No, he can’t, because he made it up.

It would be insane at this juncture to open and it won’t happen. Figure out a plan until Sep 2021 at least. It frankly would be much better if we’d all just cut to the chase and admit that.

Too late. Number were getting bad when we had to chose. Why did you pick hybrid?

They clearly didn't but saying as much would tamp down the drama.

I picked hybrid back in October when cases were minimal in the area, and there was a guarantee that metrics would be met. If there was no guarantee of metrics, I wouldn’t have picked hybrid.

It's not too late to select virtual, that's easier to staff so they are willing to work with that

Haha! I'm fine with that as well. I am sure they would just send them back though.

Even Europe?!?!

OMG - calm down for goodness sakes!

Yes kids can go back to school

You are seriously acting as if someone walks in the door of a school they will melt!

If kids don’t go back in January he is totally screwed for the next few years because the funding and mitigation for those students left behind just isn’t there
