Teachers just pointing out that most will not be past the 2 weeks fully vaccinated point at the date of teacher returns. I'm in the earliest group and will not be 2 weeks past the 2nd dose until the 27th. And I was vaccinated on the first eligible day. Many are still receiving their first dose.

I think everyone but K-2 is doing concurrent. Grades 3-5 was a last minute switch to concurrent due to staffing, I believe.

The teachers are trying, the kids are trying, but it is just not working for us like it should. I have no expectation that two days per week of hybrid is some kind of education panacea, but it's like throwing a little life ring to a drowning family...and that's what we need right now.


I'm happy for you! How old are your kids?


K and 2nd.


Oh boy. Yes that seems like a really important age for kids to be in school.

They tell the kids to not put anything on social media that they don't want to be there forever, and then they go ahead and attach their names to workplace gripes.


I think it's fine for a teacher to complain a little about concurrent learning, but I am so shocked at the way some teachers make very clear how much they hate teaching, their students, and parents on their public social media accounts. I have an acquaintance who does this and I had to mute her.


All I have to say is I hope neither of my kids wants to take a pottery class in high school.

Yes. My school has a PTA meeting tonight and the best thing about this announcement is that the annoying APE mom will hopefully stop her yammering.


Oh, the APEs are already pushing for five days in person, so there will be no stopping her yammering. Sigh.


Oh god. No! Really? Insaw that the nutty FCPS people were pushing that. You’re probably right. This is the genius who doesn’t understand why anyone does surveillance testing. Well, my kids are DL let her argue for 5 days this year. I’ll read the news while she does her thing. No way APS can pull that off.

For 3-5 this may vary depending on your school. Some schools with high hybrid numbers in 3-5 will do 4 days of hybrid/ may need to split hybrid into a/b groups. Your school should tell you.


I thought 3-5 was just coming two days, based on the days listed above- but depending on numbers may have the teacher dancing between two rooms while also teaching virtual students, or may have a teacher just in one room while also teaching concurrently.


If your school had too many 3-5 families choosing hybrid, the teacher was switched to all 4 days with her/his class split into two. So, the kids will never be all remote and synchronous on the same day.
