Schools should be in person 5 days a week, if you want virtual you can watch a video of the class. end of thread .
No one agrees with you. We can’t have 5 days of school safely given the class sizes in FCPS. Get. Over. It.
DP. I agree with her.
Another DP and I also agree.

Many kids (mine included) are miserable on the asynchronous days. They would much rather livestream into the class those days. For me, concurrent makes me MORE likely to choose hybrid, not less.

I agree. And if we want to talk about FAPE, I think concurrent is appropriate to offer those who select for all virtual. I do not think all virtual is appropriate to offer those who selected hybrid.
There are many parents on both sides of this that agree. Let’s go already. The fact we don’t have a plan to get most kids in part-time yet is horrendous. No other sector is stuck at this level. Everywhere has some people coming in, if not at least half.

Haha. No.
This will not be the case. In my kids’ ES choosing 100% virtual will have a classroom teacher who is teaching 100% virtual students. The hybrid students will have one teacher. Same teacher for both in person and their DL. The hybrid kids are not going to be in the same virtual class as the 100% virtual students.
I wouldn’t be so sure about this.

Well if you click your heels together three times maybe it will happen.

DL was offered to parents they choose it, so no, videos are not sufficient. Concurrent is a good plan.

Is this approved / a done deal?
It is not yet approved.
It will be, unless the teachers torpedo it. Which they may very well do because honestly it will be a lot more work to teach concurrently. More risk for all but everyone is short changed. This plan sucks.
It's not a lot more work than the other hybrid plan. Different work, but not more.
DP. It is more education. Same amount of work, but one lesson plan for everyone instead of two.
No, it will be two plans. One for the in class folks and one for the at home folks.
No.... that’s not how it works. Everyone is earning at the same time, some are in class, some are at home, but you teach them...concurrently.
