Well this past week was interesting. I had Google meetings with school administration and my daughter's teachers to get the information on virtual learning. Picked up her device and materials yesterday. The school is still under tons of construction, so I have no idea how they will look Monday. When I saw that I was even happier with our choice to learn from home. The schedule is manageable and there are "brain breaks" to log off and run around the house if needed.
Only one of my daughter's friends will be staying home. The rest are going in person. It just seems crazy to me, but it's not my place to judge or criticize. It just makes me feel like I am overreacting sometimes. I had a nice long talk with another mom (the one keeping her daughter home) and it made me feel better.
Besides the construction, which is ongoing, the kids will remain in their room all day. The teachers will switch off. Masks all day, except during lunch. Lunch in the room. Grab and go pickup for kids who eat school lunch. Recess will be with their homeroom only. Absolutely no socializing with the rest of the kids in the grade. No water fountains. They encourage kids to bring water bottles. They begin with a staggered approach Monday-Thurs and then all kids go on Friday. Virtual learners begin Wednesday.
It just seems depressing. I do give tons of credit to our school system for what they've been able to pull off. I hope it all works out. Like my friend said, "why was it too dangerous for the school board to meet in person, but it's ok for school to open back up?"
Good question.
