At the time of this writing, it is July 2020. School boards around the country for K-12 and colleges are trying to figure out if they will use virtual, in-person, or a blend of the two for the 2020-2021 school year.
At present, they are all primarily unsure of what they will do. In Florida, school generally starts in early to mid August. They are running out of time to make a decision. I have heard of some school districts giving parents the decision to choose if they want their child to attend in person or via virtual attendance. Teachers are worried about their own safety, evidenced by many of them writing wills and end of life paperwork should they catch the coronavirus from the in-person classroom setup. From what I have seen so far, it doesn’t seem teachers will receive a version of “hazard pay” for this, and there doesn’t seem to be a call by teachers for “hazard pay” – again, from what I have seen so far.
Some parents may elect to homeschool their children, or use the virtual version of education. (click here for my blog post on homeschooling in a SHTF situation).
I am personally a proponent for homeschooling. As I noted in the above referenced post, I have attended public school, private school, and have been homeschooled. Personally, I preferred homeschooling. If the child is able to be self-disciplined, homeschooling is the better learning atmosphere. I took virtual courses in the early 2000’s on Florida Virtual School. So long as you didn’t fall behind, you were fine. You could get ahead if you so desired. If that is the case for your student, they could potentially finish high school in 2 years. Students in a homeschool environment can take the courses that are required for all students and complete the tasks as quickly as they are able, then spend the rest of their day exploring books or other things that are of interest to them that they can discover what profession they want to pursue when they graduate from high school and enter college, vocational school, and/or start their own business.
The difficulty I have heard about virtual and homeschooling is that some parents are apprehensive about leaving their children at home by themselves while they go to work. In some cases, this is understandable given the ages of their children. It is more concerning, however, when they can’t trust their older children to stay at home by themselves and trust that they won’t get into trouble or won’t complete their schoolwork.
For those that will be attending the in-person version of school for the coming year, as I understand it, there will be 6 foot distances between student desks and all students and teachers will be required to wear masks. Lunches will occur in the classrooms and there will be tiered drop-off and pick-up times (much like the gas lines in the 1970’s by my understanding).
The problem with this, is that when I was in school, there were issues with space for all students. My classes were anywhere from 25 – 45 students in a room. With the social distancing in place in the classrooms, this will likely put an even greater strain on spacing and would require the schools to get (or get more) of those remote buildings on the school property to hold all the students.
If class sizes are halved due to the social distancing, there is potentially further issue, as (by my understanding) there aren’t enough teachers, and this would require MORE teachers due to the reduced class sizes.
Many of the people I know with school-aged children are working to get ready for school, completely unaware if their child will actually attend the classroom in person or virtually. It’s basically impossible to plan your life in such a situation – even for the most simple things of life. The information from the school board seems to change every other day.
In survival situations, many times, the difference between life and death is one’s ability to make decisions quickly and adjust as needed.
The current situation with school attendance appears to be one of those survival situations that require a decision to be made by parents based on what is best for their own situation and decide if their child(ren) will attend school in the classroom or virtually for the school year. Yes, there are different challenges and concerns with each, but I have found that once one is able to make a decision one way or the other, dealing with the answers to those challenges are much easier to face and determine the answers to.
By making a decision one way or the other in any situation or any decision that must be made, it puts you in a better position to shift more effectively as information changes and puts you ahead of those that are sitting on the sidelines waiting for others to tell them what to do. I have seen this time and again with hurricanes when there are evacuation orders. Some get out well before the evacuation orders and the interstates become parking lots. Others wait until the last minute and are usually sitting in the interstate parking lot and trying to figure out where to go because they left everything to the last minute.
Whether it is for the coronavirus school year, hurricanes, or any other survival or emergency situation, I have learned that those that are able to make decisions quickly will typically perform better and come out ahead compared to those that drag out the decision process.
Make your decision and shift as necessary.
