Right. And? Haven't you been paying attention to what RTS might look like?

Is you kid getting reading, writing, or math in person? Is there an adult in the room with them?

Who TF cares if PE is on the iPad during a pandemic.

No, my kid will not be getting reading, writing and math in person. There is a teacher in the room, but she will be teaching one or two other separate groups of kids a different subject, not assisting the kids in her classroom.

This plan was never communicated by APS. It was first shared in our parent teacher conference at the end of last week. There hasn't been a single email from Glebe with the details. Parents who haven't asked specifically haven't been told. It is not the same plan as any other APS elementary school.

And, yes, I have been paying very close attention. Glebe is choosing a terrible bastardized version of the APS plan and it doesn't seem that parents are being told or that APS administration is paying attention.

Sounds like the middle school/high school plan.

What are the subjects she will get in person?

No, this is not the middle and high school plan. I have multiple kids in multiple grade levels and schools. HS and MS are (for the most part) having either kids or teachers move to be in person with their in person teacher teaching the subject they are scheduled for at the time. So you are learning Spanish from your Spanish teacher in the classroom with you while you are all logged into teams and interacting equally with the at home kids. Fine- totally reasonable definition and implementation of concurrent. The glebe plan is the equivalent of having the Spanish teacher loudly speaking and teaching Spanish at her desk while 8 kids sit 6-12 feet away on school issued headphones and try to learn math!

I agree- it’s such a crazy plan that other posters cannot even grasp the plan. Everyone keeps trying to correct the glebe parents with their own incorrect understanding of the glebe system!

It sounds like what my MS will be doing. Some teachers won't be there in person. Kids will be in a room with another teacher while the iPad teacher teaches to kids at home and in school.

What subjects will your kid get in person? Any?

Kids will only get the subject(s) taught by their homeroom teacher in person, so which class(es) are in person vary by homeroom and grade. For most it's 1-2 classes per grade.

In middle school, will the teacher watching the class be actively delivering concurrent content on a different topic to a second in person classroom plus a cohort of kids at home? Or is it essentially a staff member who is there and available to help?

Let's also keep in mind that the level of help and redirection needed for a 5-10 yo is different than for a middle schooler.

Wouldn't your kid get at least ELA or math with the homeroom teacher?

Not sure what the in-person teacher will be doing - will let you know in two weeks.

No. In some grades students will only get science or social studies in person.

Your 5yo at Glebe is only getting science and social studies in person?

ELA & math will both on the iPad?

I don't have a 5 yo so I don't know that plan. For 4th grade, some students will only get social studies in person. The teachers are divided Reading / Math / Social Studies / Science and Writing. Only 1 of those 4 subjects is in person.

Oh ok. A little different for a 5yo vs a 10yo.

So it’s not ideal but still a step up from DL.

Except it's a completely unnecessary choice. Teachers at other APS elementary schools are switching classrooms, see the very privileged Williamsburg and Discovery elementary schools. Glebe has a larger number of ESL amd RPL students. Why should Glebe students only get core instruction via Teams when their more privileged APS counterparts get full in person instruction? Once again, Glebe is the only school making this choice.

Right- some middle school teachers will teaching from
Home because they have qualified for an ada. That’s great and a totally valid situation. And there will
Be a teacher/monitor in the room with the in person kids not their teacher. Again, totally reasonable. But here is the question- will that person in the middle school classroom with the kids while their teacher teaches remotely from home ALSO BE LOUDLY TEACHING ANOTHER SUBJECT to an additional group of students in another room/ at home?
