And I hope they don’t, since it’s almost 4Th quarter and I’d rather my kid be taught by a great teacher remotely than some barely qualified sub. The ones I know have child care issues and weren’t granted permission to work from home permanently. That will likely be resolved next year when APS and Fairfax go 5 days for all. So yeah, I’d rather they stay remote and I don’t think it’ll be an issue for most next year.

I hope my kids don't lose their great remote teachers!

This is not going to be as good as school NOT during a pandemic. Nothing is.

But if Catholic school appeals to you, go for. I'd rather have my kids educated by professionals.

I wouldn’t say catholic school teachers aren’t professionals but any public school is better than my kids learning Catholicism and a skewed curriculum. JMO.

Catholic schools don't provide a "skewed curriculum." They may incorporate Catholic teachings, usually in a separate religion class, and the kids will attend Mass once a week; but the curriculum is not "skewed."
And God forbid kids learn about the faith and practices held by millions of people across the globe.

I mean if that’s your choice, enjoy it. I don’t need my kids to have their education colored by Catholicism just because a lot of people follow it.

Catholic/Christian schools are bottom of the barrel. No thanks.

I'm guessing whatever personal situation they are in now won't change in the fall (assuming they are fully vaccinated now). How does this play out?

My senior has a remote teacher that wants to and is ready to come back but can’t because APS says there’s not enough space.

Your senior or the teacher has something wrong. If a teacher is on P1 they CANNOT come back unless they got their doctor to write another note rescinding the need to stay home for health concerns. If they do that, the teacher would of course be able to come back. There is space because they would just take the place of whatever proctor is there. There is no such thing as no space for staff of the school. So either your kid got something mixed up, or the teacher is leaving some stuff out or wants to come in but won’t rescind the P1 status. The story as is isn’t accurate.

Nope not wrong. There is no proctor. She’s shoved in the auditorium with the 150 other kids that are online. They’re limiting the number of PE teachers they’re allowing in. Do you teach at W-L? I doubt it. This is absolutely happening.

Plenty of subs are qualified. I hope you don’t get one of them.
