Our middle school is currently hybrid. 1 week in person, 1 week virtual. School until 12:15, then from 1-3pm work with teachers as needed.
The HS was going to be hybrid but didn't have enough teachers, so they started the year off with all virtual. Now I hear the HS is going hybrid on 9/21. They apparently got enough subs to cover.
The all virtual that our district did in the Spring went off without a hitch and was very productive. They had all classes from 7:45 to 12:15, then teachers were available from 1-3. They had to actually attend each class through Zoom, take tests, turn in homework. The teachers did an awesome job.
In the superintendent's last email, for the HS, they were "recruiting subs, and exploring creative solutions with certifications, to cover the void left by teachers who decided they decided to take leave"
The talk the last 2 months has been about getting the kids back in school because they needed some semblance of normalcy for a proper education. I don't feel that putting new hires in place with no experience in a normal classroom situation, who are now going to be basically teaching two classes at once, (in person and virtual), will give any student a semblance of normalcy or a proper education.
