Sounds like that’s what we’ll get when our kids go hybrid this week. You can be there physically but your teacher can be on Zoom and you might have a supervisor in the room. My confidence level is low.
That's what my kids are doing too. They are still on zoom when in school, wearing headphones, to help things sync between the teacher, in school, and at home kids. Both of my kids still prefer the in school though. Social interaction is a big deal.
That they did, but Oswego is a whole different situation than most districts.Oswego announced last night at the board meeting that high school kids in the district will not go back in person until January 11th.
They are facing a 6 million dollar deficit and need to trim quite a bit before that January 11th date. Honestly, I wouldn't be the least surprised if they cut athletics.
Tried to warn everyone when the last referendum was voted on, but many didn't believe it would come to this. The kicker is, the Gov told us to live within our budget (even though the state owes the district 50 plus million and only funds it 60%), yet, he passed a budget in June that heavily relies on a Federal bailout.

This type of stuff angers me so much. If I put downwshat I think should happen to these two, the thread would be flushed. Their mothers must be so proud of them.

It's horrific. I think about all of the kids on the edge of dropping out. The kids who have found "other stuff" to do since they were forced out of school buildings in the spring and not allowed to go back in the fall. Those kids aren't coming back to school. They'll drop out. All of the kids that stick with school, not because they like school, but because they love the extracurricular things like sports, music,, drama, etc... Without that engagement, those kids drop out as well. Not to mention the kids that will get behind in school during this remote learning farce, get frustrated, then stop trying and eventually drop out. It's going to happen in a huge way. And the kids getting abused, neglected, etc...I really hope this article it wrong but the effect of closing schools could be catastrophic.

Question Based on the current understanding of the associations between school disruption and decreased educational attainment and between decreased educational attainment and lower life expectancy, is it possible to estimate the association between school closure during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and decreased life expectancy of publicly educated primary school–aged children in the United States?
Findings This decision analytical model found that missed instruction during 2020 could be associated with an estimated 5.53 million years of life lost. This loss in life expectancy was likely to be greater than would have been observed if leaving primary schools open had led to an expansion of the first wave of the pandemic.
Meaning These findings suggest that the decision to close US public primary schools in the early months of 2020 may be associated with a decrease in life expectancy for US children.

You are 100% right! But even if the kids showed up at CPS schools, the CTU would object to the teachers being at the school to teach as of now.
My kids district (205 - Elmhurst) don't have finals for everyone. The decision was left up to individual departments what they wanted to schedule one or not (test, project, nothing, etc.) I haven't checked with my kids to see how many actual tests they have.
It’s funny that I stress about my kid potentially failing 2 classes but they won’t fail anybody in covid unless you put in zero effort. Gonna be a lot of freebies this year.
What school is this? I googled Porter school and a bunch of different things popped up
East Porter
HA! My daughter has 7 tests this week as they finish everyday of in-person instruction since August.
Maybe but he doesn’t need to hear it from his parents. I’m not giving him an excuse to slack off.
