The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / COVID Classes (back-to-school related)
« on: July 13, 2020, 09:27:25 AM »
Good morning gE Moms, Dads, and parental Guardians.
It is pretty obvious that school districts are all over the place on what the fall semester will look like for K-12 across the US. Unfortunately the administration and Betsy DeVos are worthless, so the school districts have little to no guidance on the best path to move forward.
Outside of selfishly wanting my kids out of the house, I continue to debate the safety of them and their teachers. How much of a cluster-eff is it going to be?
I'm debating homeschooling for the first semester. My oldest will be in Kindergarten, so I'm sure it's quite different than homeschooling a 5th grader (for example). I've even heard some parents talk about a one-room homeschooling model with neighborhood kids.
What is everyone else is thinking or planning?
I hate seeing that teachers and faculty will be forced into a situation of teaching in-person during a pandemic. We all know teachers are already vastly underpaid. I've also wondered if we will see older teachers retire early and others resign. gE teachers....thoughts? How difficult will it be to keep masks on kids for 8 hrs a day?
Just in case, we converted our toy room into a classroom.
