Comments on: Plan Announced To Reopen Florida Public Schools At Full Capacity By Fall http://www.northescambia.com/2020/06/plan-announced-to-reopen-florida-public-schools-at-full-capacity-by-fall Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 05 Apr 2026 17:56:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Allesa M Ciambriello http://www.northescambia.com/2020/06/plan-announced-to-reopen-florida-public-schools-at-full-capacity-by-fall/comment-page-1#comment-425511 Allesa M Ciambriello Sat, 22 Aug 2020 16:43:35 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=406369#comment-425511 So I am teaching face to face AND launched at the same time for 6th -8th grade intensive math. These are the lowest math level students. Obviously, many have IEP/504/ELL. Day 1 - Day 9 online went well. Averaged about 2/3 or more online off my roster showing up daily. Now on Day 10. My first day with Face to Face/blended... and I already have THAT kid. The one who tries to throw a CV-19 protective seating location item... AT MY FACE. Called the Dean twice for his 8 plus times nicely requesting for him to stop or put it down or stop the other awful behaviors. DID anyone come to get him for the outburst distruption while I tried to teach in person and control my chat of online students? NOPE. He got away with it. I wish I could blame the pandemic. but nope. His last year teachers just laughed... and said they got hit by his brother last year and ended up with the same kid for two class periods the next year. WE are #$%&ed with having to control basic mental health. NOT for ourselves... we are sacrificed. BUT for the poor babies who HAVE to be at the free public institution we call 'school' , and we will still be held accountable to a punk like this. YES, having to baby him and help him despite the other 22+ students each hour on the hour. IT"S wrong to make us deal with this. We should get more pay and more time off ... and NO ONE can tell me we should just be thankful we have a job. WE all deserve a job, and we all have had our 'lightning bolts" in life. TEACHERS should not die an early death from a forced work scenerio during a pandemic. So I am teaching face to face AND launched at the same time for 6th -8th grade intensive math.

This is extremely unsafe in my opinion. Take the numbers off the table, call NCH is Collier County, call Gulf Coast in Lee County...ask how many beds they have in ICU. They are all filled with COVID patients, some are teens. This virus is playing Russian Roulette with your health. You may get a runny nose, you may sneeze a little, you may die. Are we really willing to risk our children's health? All I am saying is call your local hospitals. THOSE numbers don't lie. Beds are filled with COVID patients. Those people had more than the sniffles. We closed schools down with numbers much lower than current and with them quadrupled, we are opening at full capacity???

I refuse to live in a bubble and I refuse for my child to live in one as well. The flu happens every year and if your so afraid of getting sick and not sending your kids back to school then you stay at home with your child and don't send them back to school. The parents like me who are not scared to send my child back to school shouldn't be punished for the ones who are whining about all this covid-19 ( flu) nonsense.

Keep your kids home if they are sick You’re required to do that anyway. Also teach your kids how to wash their hands.

Smh. Why are we reopening schools when it’s 100 times worse than when they closed them in the first place! Sure let’s just pretend like covid is gone. Smh.

I just take a chance with my family's health & lives. Re-opening school without a vaccine is irresponsible. The only reason they are opening is that's the only way the schools will be funded. There just has to be a better way, to where we are not putting lives at risk. All lives matter!

I’m sure we as parents will have options to meet everyone’s individual concerns. Social distancing practices should be put in place through a phase 1,2,3 to ensure success of the reintroduction of students into the classroom. Students need school, parents need school, and it would be irresponsible to not meet the needs of the community. Opening schools is something that has to be done responsibly.

With some modifications. Possibly have a bus aide on every school bus to check temperatures of children before they even get on the bus. For the kids that don't ride the bus they can possibly set up temperature taking stations at the entrance of the schools and indicate 1 specific entrance for those that don't ride the bus. Just 1 idea. I completely agree that the kids should get back to classrooms this fall. With some modifications.

If you aren't comfortable with schools reopening, then sign up for virtual or homeschool them, but I work full time with 2 in high school and a kindergartener grandchild whose dad is now a single parent and he has to work full time. Homeschooling is not a viable option for many and they need the schools to be open. For those of you who can homeschool, please choose that option if it works for you as it will lessen the burden on the school's and then overcrowding on buses won't be an issue.
