In California, private and charter schools are included in the mandate for closure.
Yes, I was referring to the MA and NY students.
So I am curious, what do CC California parents expect to do this year? Homeschool? Out of state boarding schools? Temporarily move somewhere else?
@Sybylla - Exactly! My recent hs grad is not taking a gap year but will be home taking her college classes online. Once she knows her schedule, she is planning to reach out and see how she can help a few kids in our community. I’m not sure how much more online time will help. Kids, especially the younger ones, need in-person instruction. Either way, hopefully she can figure out a way to help.
@roycroftmom - I’m concerned the tiny private that my kids attended will not survive. Not many want to pay for online instruction, especially true k-12. Wonder how much influence the unions had on pushing that restriction through to the governor as they had already mentioned getting rid of charters.
I am so sorry,@gratefulmomma. That did seem like overreach to me by the governor.
@roycroftmom - Thanks! My kids have luckily graduated but we would be heartbroken if the school doesn’t survive. As small as it is, there is no doubt in my mind they could have opened safely.
Based on the union report, I believe this is all part of their plan, to put charters and privates out of business, to create more funding for themselves.
I am in MA, and I am so frustrated right now. We have worked really hard to “flatten the curve” statewide and locally we are doing even better. Online learning was a total disaster for my 8th grader. A month of no instruction??? I am sure all of these teachers are going to be staying home too, no trips to Target or Home Depot or the beach, too dangerous!
