Haha. No.

Sorry, it's not going to happen.

So instead of two classes of 25 students, you want to have one class of 13 students in-person and another class of 37 students DL, with different classmates on different days.
I'm not sure others would prefer that. And the teachers would have to collaborate closely to align every day's lesson precisely.

Nice try, Brabrand. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
How hard is for you to understand that kids are different and learn differently???
For some of us DL IS going well.

That would require more teachers. Do the math.

I’m right there with you. I have a kindergartener and sitting through DL with him is torture. But I will do damn near anything to get him back in a classroom, including putting up with some DL, even when I want none. They cannot staff separate DL and hybrid. That’s the reality. And so concurrent is the only way forward.

Agree. I don’t want my child having to log in and watch a classroom. Talk about boring. I would much rather have my child working on independent work. I think the 2 days at home with concurrent instruction will be FAR worse than DL now.
God forbid they are bored. Private schools are doing this. My son's school does this. He is being taught.

Too many kids don’t have an adult that can structure and asynch day at home. You can always do what most of my neighbors do: logon, and then tune out. Some have actually worked things out with the school to send assignments instead.

I’m sticking with DL and I’m like, take the damn deal people! Are you nuts?

Ha, no not you. I mean the people that won’t take the deal. They’re nuts.
Ah, yes, haha! Agree! Some other magical solution is not coming. TAKE THE DAMN DEAL!
Hybrid and DL parents unite. Let’s do it.
