One friend has 2 daughters in the local area public HS. Both opted for ‘mixed’ instruction — which is 2 days in-class and 3 at home online. NONE of the regular teachers are in class. In-class instruction consists of opening their chromebooks and watching the teacher instruct the class in exactly the same way as they would be viewing it if they were at home. The classes are being ‘monitored’ by teaching assistants at an additional cost that nobody is willing to say. Cafeteria is a cold box lunch. Both girls gave up on it and transferred back to straight remote instruction.
The same thing is happening to one of my granddaughters. She’s a sophomore and her teacher refuses to show up for in person learning. The school district hired an aide who sits in the classroom. My daughter-in-law really went off on the principal and superintendent who pulled their kids out of the school and opted for private school.
