do you want answer based on my interactions with inner city teachers as of late?
I want honest answers from lower to middle income innercities with school districts with kids whos parents aren't involved and who get most of their food and supervision from school.
I don't want an answer from a thriving public school district in an upperclass Houston suburb.

So are they going to pay that 1 teacher per grade more money to do all of the planning and grading for 3x the amount of kids? You're coming from a place of ignorance but your confidence is impressive.
But why would they pay a teacher 3X the $$ to cover the grading, etc. when they can bring in college students as interns/teacher aide?
Is it ignorance to explore savings for closed schools? Slash the janitorial and custodian staff, slash the art/music/PE teachers all together, what the hell can they teach virtual? Slash the school nurses and lunch ladies completely.
Reorganize the faculty, make 75% cuts to the teaching staff for each grade level and bring in a large group of interns/helpers for the remaining teachers to help with grading and lesson plans.
The operational costs savings alone fpr maintenance, utilities, janitorial & food supplies will be enormous with empty schools. Slash the faculty & admin staff and use that $$ to make long needed capital improvements to the school.

Sure. And my wife and all the other nurses are in the office seeing patients who want to come in and be seen I am all far having children stay at home if they want, go right ahead with that plan. But the teachers need to be in the classrooms for the students that want to come in as well
I 100% agree and this should be an option and I believe it is what the plan was before this meeting yesterday in the parish. I think that the school should be open and teachers should be there.
I just disagree with the idea that teachers won't be teaching. If people are mad that they have to find someone to keep their kids now, then just say that. Teachers will now probably have to put more work into their lesson planning and delivery. The feedback will be insane. Answering messages and emails for every question instead of being to answer the question in front of the whole class when asked, they will probably answer that same question 10-15 separate times.

My wife works at Klein Forrest High School. Before that, Jefferson Davis High School. Both Title 1 schools in the GHETTO. Ghetto, your lilly white arse wouldnt be caught dead in. Just because we live in an upperclass Houston suburb doesn’t mean she has to teach in one. She does so because she can get a % of her student loans erased after a set # of years.
you are in over your head

You are looking at practical solutions from the private sector to fix this. While reasonable, you know damn good and well those types of solutions won't be accepted by the teacher's unions.

Teachers main purpose is to educate your kids. This can be done virtually. Schools being a place for your kids to go during the day is a secondary benefit for parents, not the primary focus.
That’s a silly thing to say. Of course one of the primary functions of school is to care for children at school. If not, many more would home school. Most don’t home school because they have to work and they want their children to learn how to socialize. Effective education cannot be done virtually for young children or kids who don’t have access to computer/internet.

This statement is the reason kids are not learning. Parents pass this mentality to their kids and when learning is not the primary function, school becomes a social meeting. Why not stop sending your kids to school when they are old enough to stay home by themselves? They can socialize in places other than school.
And the parish is going to provided the computer/internet access to the homes that don't have it.

so we pull our kids out of catholic school. Then were do we send them? I live in the Lafayette area. My kids go to catholic schools in the berry. The diocese of Lft follows the local school boards during emergency times. If the state mandates that public schools shut down, or if the individual parish school boards shut down, I fully expect the diocese to follow.

Haha, it’s very interesting.
That school is 2-3 blocks from one of the more affluent neighborhoods in Houston, but the kids zoned to that school....it quickly goes from million dollar mini mansions in Champions to a part of town I wouldn’t be caught dead in past sundown.
The school itself is pretty nice and from my understanding used to be a great school. Now tho, it’s 99% lower income Hispanic and AA

Crazy how areas change. I remember visiting them and thought it was the best house and neighborhood ever.

It’s a great case of how the upper class voting to increase property taxes for better schools in the area comes with buyer’s remorse.. Because sooner rather than later, they’ll bus in trash from nearbye ghettos for little Dakota to go to school with. “Zoning”
