In-person school begins in Chicago on March 1. Our kids are going in person, & we do most of the academic stuff ourselves, so these changes won’t affect us much. But for parents relying entirely for Chicago PS this move will put MORE burdens on the parents of the 80% of kids…
…not attending in person, bc CPS is lengthening the day, so the total time they have to be there as their kids do online school is doubling. And bc that longer day, the kids going to school 2 days per week be online as much as they are now, so parents’ net gain of time is zero/2
So, unquestioned belief nothing is more important than getting kids back at school is—w online school day for 5-7 year olds going from 2.75 hrs to 5.5 hrs, student/teacher ratio for online classes doubling half the week, & parents responsible for same or more online time—is BS /3
TYPO at beginning of thread: our kids are NOT going in person. They’re staying home. We are cautiously optimistic they’ll be back at school in September, but they almost certainly won’t this school year /4
