In CT, it will be later, but it will happen, mainly because of people being dumb and traveling to busy tourist destinations as summer draws to a close, and they will bring the virus back with them.
Gotta have that vacation...and then will complain when stuff is shut down.. Head bang

I'm against live-streaming my class and will avoid it at all costs by pre-recording 5-10 minute videos where I talk about what the task is and let the remote students what their task is - while I think teach the cohort that's in the room.

I'm just so against the invasive nature of live-streaming classes, and as I mentioned in another thread, it opens up a Pandora's Box that will change the face of education as we know it (as if it isn't changing anyway(
What's wrong with live streaming? Honestly, I think parents should be able to see what their kids are up to anytime. We can do it for day care, why not school classes? Other professions are recorded

I get what @M.S.G. is saying, but as long as you don’t make it obvious you’re in someone’s bedroom it’s not a big deal to me. I personally didn’t have a problem but I don’t have kids. Plus, Zoom has virtual backgrounds.

First day with kids today. Spent most of day just going over protocols. Despite everything it was really fun to see the kids.

Jumped from like 46 cases to 189 today at South Carolina. 7 of my friends here have tested positive in the last 2 days. I imagine it won't be long before we head all online, though 189 cases is still considered low risk according to the university.

Well that was a well reasoned response with facts supporting your position. Um YES...there both positions are equally supported

What other professions are recorded? Your post was so outlandish that I responded with disrespect because I felt disrespected.

Educators have gone from god's gift in March and April, to the scum of the earth and treated as such by YOU people in July and August.

It is invasive and inappropriate, along with the fact you have many issues involved with putting a classroom on camera - who exactly is on camera? Just the teacher? the teacher and students? Do the students then have to sign waivers?

You don't understand how this works, and you were categorically wrong with your ridiculous idea.

Thank you for playing. Try again.

I’m pretty sure day cares have cameras so parents can log in. never imputed what up r saying. But letting kids see the teacher live seems like a good idea. Oh I forgot you’re concerned about the impact it will have on teachers, not the kids

August -- Couldn't vote in the poll. Down here, we are 100% online despite our governor's order.

Yeah I'm definitely of the same belief. With this hybrid concept we're "trying" I think this really does bring in the Common Core concept of the education model because the teachers are more or less guides. I'm against live-streaming my class and will avoid it at all costs by pre-recording 5-10 minute videos where I talk about what the task is and let the remote students what their task is - while I think teach the cohort that's in the room.

Then on Wednesday when we're all home, it's a 5-10 minute video with 2 paragraph response questions with the ability to hop into our Google Meet for extra help, guidance, or support.

I'm just so against the invasive nature of live-streaming classes, and as I mentioned in another thread, it opens up a Pandora's Box that will change the face of education as we know it (as if it isn't changing anyway(
I'm already on Distance Learning and I'm to live stream all my classes. Each block is 55 min lol going to be an adventure to say the least.

Avoiding taking sides in your discussion with NJHusky, pre-SARS-2 and post-SARS-2, to varying degrees many professions have been and are recorded, monitored, etc. Respectfully, some examples include traditional retail; banking, trading, other financial sector; data entry; call/data service center; mining and commodities; warehouse/ distribution;, trucking/ shipping;, some coaching, some health care, biotech/pharma research; some manufacturing; some hotel management, casino, airport, railroad, and restaurant service jobs; some law enforcement, etc. Whether such examples are reasonable is subject to individual interpretation.

Oh yeah trust me, I totally understand that - but in my opinion there's a gigantic difference between closed circuit camera(s) that are looking at a whole unit type of control. That's much different than a 1080p camera with full audio trained onto a classroom transmitting over Zoom or Google to WHOEVER wants to watch in the student's home.

Again, Pandora's Box.

Think of how many (NJ Husky) Karen's would be on the phone with the principal criticizing everything a teacher did from their outfit down to their tone of voice when discussing a character in The Crucible.

"Well I was offended at the way that M.S.G. performed John Proctor's character in class today!"

While that's a bit of a wild example, it really isn't that wild...

You are such an insufferable . You are the type of helicopter parent that's ruining the face of education. Please save me with your, "sue me for caring about my children's education" act... I care about every student's education that I've ever had and ever will. I care about what's best for everyone and that's currently not available, I actually doubt I'll have a full classroom at all this school year. What you're doing by standing on your soap box trying to put teachers down is showing that you think you and your interest is more important than anyone's so you need to get your way or you will ask to speak to the manager, Karen.

Please never address me again, I have no interest in further discord with you, disgusting egotist.

First off...you know nothing about me yet you call me names from YOUR soap box..lol.. Please show me where I put teachers down, ever. Yet you feel entitled to insult ad libitum. Sorry, I don't think kids at home being able to see the teacher and participate in their class is a move. I personally think it's in the students interest to be engaged in the actual class. I'm just asking how synchronous is bad for the kids at home but you never answer...u just get insulted someone would want to see how a class is going.. I'm sorry, you are the all knowing oracle that can't be questioned

Can't vote either. We're completely online now. It's the 1st week and it's an 'easy' week. It's mostly simple, non-lesson oriented assignments like "getting to know you" quizzes, polls and emails. It's to give the teachers and kids a chance to adjust.
I believe the plan is to go to the hybrid rotation schedule after the 1st nine weeks. I'm just waiting to see how the kids adjust to spending the entire school day in one classroom. Should be interesting.

Just finished three half days with the students. It’s been great to see them and I’m embracing the moment but middle school kids, in general, are either gross or unaware of themselves to remember to follow some of the protocols they need to follow, especially the boys.

We’ll see what happens: regular schedule starts Monday and 100% of our instruction is in-person at 95% enrollment in-person with about 20 kids per grade. I’m just trying my best to stay safe and vigilant but there’s only so much I can do.

Great....keep us posted on the progress. I'm sure working with middle school boys on this can be challenging, to say the least!

My PLC and I are basically doing 20 mins live per class with the rest for reading/writing and individual feedback, and a bunch of discussion board-type things. Seems to be common among English teachers.

Half our students elected for remote and half selected in person. Give or take. You’d think this means smaller classes but no, because half the teachers are teaching the remote learners. All students start online the next two weeks then in person half days then in person full days and remote full days. I think I already said in this thread I’m a special ed teacher so I’m doing remote and in person starting Monday. I’ve had no guidance from school or district leadership on wth that looks like and not a lot of cooperation from general ed in creating times that work. Going to be rough.
Edit: we had a UConn student teacher test positive for COVID and 7 of our staff who had close contact with her have to quarantine. Never have I been so relieved to not be in contact with a pretty 22 yr old.

Edit: sorry, my wife corrected me. the staff member is not in ICU but is hospitalized with serious symptoms.

I’m sorry to report that this staff member is now in the ICU and on a ventilator.

But let's get those kids back in the classroom.
I know remote is far from ideal I worked in the school system as a nurse for 26 years. The question is how many people left with residual damage or how many lives lost is classroom time worth?

Kids need to socialize! (Desks 6 feet about facing forward, social distancing markers in the hallway, cafeteria closed, zigzag seating on bus, no sharing of materials). Kids can be more social on zoom.

We have a pool on how long the hybrid is going to last before going full distance, My date is October 2nd. Can definitely see it being much less than that.

Wow, more teachers here than I thought. We got 100% in-person in a week or so. Our building was too small for its usage and a logistical nightmare to begin with. I cannot imagine this will go well at all.

Good Luck! Fortunately for some of those same issues my son is teaching full remote till at least Oct 5th. Was supposed to be hybrid. He's in Jersey City.

Considering the media's coverage of school reopening and its emphasis on the harms of it, combined with the NC teachers union demand for remote learning and its demands for such getting a ton of press coverage in the state, you surely have a link to an article about this?
