Coronavirus Return: what are schools planning in your district and what approach are you selecting?

[55th View]

We have 3 options:

• Fully Remote
• Fully Present
• A Hybrid of the 2 - some days home, some days remote.

We're leaning toward the remote option, just to keep our family safe. We can give up a year of classroom instruction, considering the age of our child. I'd imagine this is tougher for those w/ high school aged children, however. All in all, we're not willing to gamble w/ our health/safety and a school setting is far too risky IMO.

My wife and I talked about this already. We will sign up for remote learning if they decide to make in person class mandatory. If they offer full remote, we will go that route. Under no circumstance are we sending our kids back to classrooms in the fall.

Man, here in Florida the governor put out a full return plan and said it was up to each school district to decide. Being that it's Florida my kids will continue virtual learning. They even have fall sports teams returning for conditioning on July 6th, have they not seen the Covid infections in the last week.

So I just moved from NY to VA and we’re still teaching remotely. In both states, the three options are floated but it is logically impossible to reopen schools at this point. You cannot “socially distance” in a classroom and there’s always the issue of the staff being amongst the higher-risk demographic. I will pitch and push for remote, keeps both staff and student safe.

my wife and just filled out our preference between remote learning or in person learning. As much as I could use a break, I just cant see sending my children back into the classroom as of yet. If at all ever.

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

If at all ever.

Damn, I don't think it is time to be that pessimistic yet.

My kids, my feelings. Do what you feel. We'd been considering homeschooling even before this.

Same here, virtual learning for my 2 daughters. Fuck DeSantis bitch ass, he doesn't give a fuck. He is stating that the recent spike, isn't actually a spike. A couple of counties are reinstating the mandatory use of masks in public again.

I chose fully remote.

I find it laughable that any school administrator or whoever is in charge would think it's okay to have children go back to school in a pandemic...

Thank goodness, I don't have children because, if I did they wouldn't be going at all...

 

[InTheMind]

Here in my city its remote or the child stays in one classroom all day no p.e. or extra activities!

 

[g0nbad real bad]

My 12 year old may have to be home schooled at my moms house or my mother in-laws since they are both retired educators. Me and the wife a little uneasy about sending him to the white peoples petri dish.

You'll be surprised. In my thirteen as an educator I have seen that the current process of good teachers being taken out the classroom to become administrators doesn't work. Still too much politics, connections, and ass kissing. From my experience too many of the administrators I have worked for were too damn concerned about standardized test scores, and overall school grades, than the bigger picture. I go to war with them every day, for example my current admin team continues to stress about the educational learning loses which can be regained, but not the lose of lives that can never be regained.

Consistent responses throughout the thread. Very pleased to see not one person is considering a full return to school.
