7:22 am

HarryHood

but not 7s yet :)

7:22 am

BzznBea

Good Morning, Harry.

7:22 am

HarryHood

hallo bea

7:22 am

BzznBea

Any idea what school will look like this year?

7:23 am

HarryHood

crap

7:23 am

HarryHood

(that's what it will look like)

7:24 am

MollyL

What I have heard from teachers and students is basically a big thumbs down to remote learning

7:24 am

HarryHood

I might prefer remote learning to what I'm hearing about september in-house.

7:25 am

dan2bit

it depends a lot on the same things it does in the classroom - class size, teacher engagement. But it's harder because the kids don't have the presence of other kids to help maintain focus and attention - all those peer-driven incentives disappear from the teacher's tool box

7:27 am

dan2bit

some kids do fine without that, but many kids don't have the intrinsic motivation if the subject matter is dull

7:28 am

BzznBea

Grandsons in Wake County Schools in NC, the Triangle area, will do remote learning at least the first semester.

7:29 am

HarryHood

we're supposedly going to be in-person with lots and lots of restrictions

7:29 am

MollyL

Do they like it Bea?

7:30 am

dan2bit

same for us here in NoVa, BzznBea, at least for a quarter

7:30 am

dan2bit

they also pushed our start date back to 9/8

7:31 am

HarryHood

dan - why would they do that if you're remote anyway?

7:31 am

BzznBea

Daugher's school district is going to use a "hybrid" model. Those that want classroom time will come two days a week, with smaller classes. Those that are at risk can choose a virtual model.

7:32 am

BzznBea

My grands like it, Molly. But they are both very smart. They are plugged into a computer all the time.

7:33 am

dan2bit

they moved the date when they were still considering letting half the kids come to school (in halves, 2 days a week) and half do remote. I suspect that now they will use that time to train and practice and plan around the tech itself

7:33 am

deanoz

testing after online lessons showed me that the vast majority of students retained very little.

7:33 am

HarryHood

sounds zoom-a-licioius, dan

7:34 am

HarryHood

corner O - are they normal words?

7:35 am

BzznBea

No...oo7.32

7:35 am

HarryHood

ok - ty - will check later - gotta ferry my kid to work

7:35 am

BzznBea

and ov5.16

7:37 am

dan2bit

it's not ideal, but I also know that many of miss2bit's classmates have multiple dimensions of social disadvantage, which put them at risk for contracting COVID-19: crowded housing, essential workers in financially precarious employment, low English-language proficiency, etc

7:38 am

BzznBea

Those are the children I worry about, Dan. Again, they will fall into the cracks.

7:39 am

dan2bit

for sure. our school is working a lot on the technology access part of the challenge

7:47 am

Scrabbler

The Boys and Girls Club here just had a young adult counselor test (+) so this is practice for what will happen in the schools.

7:48 am

BzznBea

A minor died from it recently in the city my KS children live.

7:49 am

BzznBea

I'm off for the day...Next time, all.

7:53 am
