naptownskinsfan Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Two school districts in Virginia have let parents decide if their child will attend virtually or in-person. This actually sounds manageable, at least from the perspective of the building. Not sure how the teachers feel about it- https://www.wtvr.com/news/back-to-school/these-2-virginia-school-districts-let-parents-pick-virtual-or-in-person-learning?fbclid=IwAR0b_saKVbFPYOWjXPFprkiqHgrRPnlsuESQj38QRqzQX-9Elkyg2W4fNbw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that @LETSGOBROWNIES district's handling of it and mine are vastly different, despite our relatively close proximity. As a teacher, I have mixed emotions about it. I understand the reality of the times we are living in, while simultaneously acknowledging the laws of unintended consequences from an academic, social, and achievement gap point of view, depending on the ability of parents to devote that time into holding their kids accountable...as well as things like IEP, 504, free and reduced lunch, etc. It's a really complex issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man, our “virtual learning” is closer to homeschooling than anything. They’ve gotten better with support each week, but it’s still not what I envisioned and what other districts are doing.

Never underestimate the ability of online educational platforms to hard sell a piece of software to a district, get a nice chunk of change ($240 per student times 2,000 students K-12 here), and that software to underwhelm, all in a time of unprecedented crisis. A teacher buddy of mine got in on the investment side of a few of these companies back in March, and will probably sell right around Thanksgiving, turning a nice profit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
