@Anonymous Every school has optional remote for kids who are in quarantine for one reason or another. But this is designed to give the teachers an opportunity to travel too.
@Anon What was the rationale for this?I'm so tired of these private schools saying they don't want kids on screens all the time. Guess what my kid wants to do when school is over (and I'm still working)? Go on her screen.
I think a lot of schools in NYC are going to do this. Some have admitted it is because they know people will travel over the holidays and they want to give them time to quarantine, hence opening after MLK. I have stop predicting what is going to happen though because I have been wrong at every turn of the corner!
Wow. Won't this piss off a lot of people if public school kids are in school?

Yes please stop doom-and-gloom predictions esp if they are not correct! Not many schools are closing after Thanksgiving. One of our DCs' schools is allowing limited remote access for anotherwise fully in-person January to permit families who traveled to quarantine.
Oh no! Our private upper school is just starting hybrid tomorrow. First day of in-person classes. It's good that your school started hybrid early so the students and teachers could bond. When they go remote in Nov., they will have already had a good foundation together. You are lucky to have that. If our school shuts down at Thanksgiving, the US students will barely have time together in school
My kids are in public and won’t be setting foot into school until 11/9. right before the holidays. how stupid.
My kids are in public but this sounds awful.
Dwight now remote from Jan 4 to Jan 19.
All schools will do this.
Is there a rumor ECFS is going to do this? (Please please no!)
Which school is this? I had heard HM and Gaynor were both doing this already.
