Mine is going. I am terrified again this year as I was last year but doing online set her back alot and she was failing even tho she had me, her aunt and uncle and one of my friends helping her do her school work and explaining in different ways to try to understand. She is 7 years old now. I will be having my 2nd child on the Monday before school starts here in my area and so lots of drs appointments for myself and all my drs and nurses have been telling her she needs to keep her mask on at all times and to stay away from those who dont have one on and to keep washing her hands. Hopefully she will continue to follow the directions and keep her mask on. With a newborn and family members with health issues its extremely scary, as well as her having heart issues she cant afford to catch it but her cardiologist said she would be fine to go as long as she keeps her mask on.
Yeah of course. I have to go back to work so they need to go to school. No reason they canāt do in-person school with proper precautions in place. Online learning was so hard- I really donāt want to ever do that again lol.

Remote learning isnāt an option here. They have to go in person but my son was in person last year as I have to work.
Virtual academy this year. I can see wry lesson plan from the first day of school to the last. She can work at her on pace fro the most part.
Just as long as the 9 week requirements are done

Yes I am I have one in kindergarten one in second grade and one in eighth grade, I believe that they need the interaction of the other children. And also when they were doing online in the last shutdown third grade suffered significantly. The schools that my children go to have been very adamant about social distancing and keeping clean, each school has a third party cleaning committee come in each weekend in deep clean the schools.

Yes! Iām a little different though as my kids are older. I have a senior in high school and a sophomore in college. They NEED to be in school. My college kid was at home last year and Learned nothing! I spent a lot of money for professors just to hand her assignments and say good luck. So this is their careers we are talking about, they need to be there!

Iām sending them. I sent them last year. They want to go because they donāt learn anything digitally. If the schools require masks, I will give my kids the option to go and wear them, or I will homeschool them. My job put in a mask mandate today and I will be quitting.

My kiddo started 7th grade in person 7/21. I need her to have as normal a school year as possible. We understand that āanythingā could happen.
Son going into kindergarten. Iām doing virtual learning with him.
Iām in the UK and as a nurse, my daughter has attended school throughout. I needed to be at work, and couldnāt work from home. Plus she needed to be at school. Kids in the UK have been back at school since September 2020 and finished for summer holidays in July. Cases are rising again here. We no longer have to wear masks and after the end of August dual vaccinated people that are covid positive donāt have to isolate.
It is concerning

Iām homeschooling my children my son is 4 and my daughter is 5 so heās not old enough for kindergarten yet but Iām going to be teaching kindergarten to him and her
I have a one year old and one on the way so I just donāt feel comfortable with sending my others to school yet because of the virus

We donāt have a remote option for the fall In NYC. So, Iāll be sending all three of my kids (18 vaccinated,16 vaccinated & 11 unable to be vaccinated) to in person learning in masks. Iām a stay at home parent and will deal with any schol closures (if any) as they come.
Yep! They are going! Iāve been a SAHM for 8 years, with part time jobs here and there. As a Marine Veteran, this momma is beyond ready to get back to a full-time career!

I personally would do online schooling if my daughter was old enough. With cases rising, more variants developing, and people not being safe, itās such a huge risk. People have become so lacked because they are vaccinated when now itās the time to be extra cautious!
We are waiting for the local board decision next monday on if there will be a mask mandate (there was last yr and our school never shut down) if they do mandated, I have all homeschool curriculum already ready to order and start!

Yes. My children were in school last year as well. The hybrid model my district offered last year was full time every other week. There were 2 cohorts that alternated weeks, so all of the staff was back in school full time. By April all children were in full time. It worked out very well for us. Iām looking forward to them actually starting out full time this year.

We did e-learning 
last year, but we donāt have an option this year so he is going in person.
I dont even think ours is offering virtual now
Our original plan was for my daughter to return to in person this year but we live in Florida and the Delta variant is hitting hard. I donāt want her to lose focus on school because sheās worried. Itās unfortunate because I want her to be around peers her age but she thrived well in virtual school last year and we will be doing that again. We have her brother who is starting kindergarten and I am already homeschooling. He has Down syndrome and a health history,a vulnerable person that we love and want to do schooling in the comfort of our home without the worries and fear surrounding and distracting their learning. Every family is different and I hope every mom feels supported with their choice they make that works best for their familiesā¤ļø

My country didnt really shut down at all only for a month
Yes ! My kids were in person last year too and it was great ! They were going Tuesday-Friday with Monday as elearning. They did have to wear masks and no parents were allowed inside the school. This year will be Monday-Friday without masks.
Yes! They need to be in school around friends, I work at a childrenās hospital and the amount of suicidal ideations/attempts we had last year was outrageous.

My daughter did homeschool last year and has went back to public school this year. They have no mandates for masks here but she wears her mask everyday while at school. Sheās 10th grade btw
Yep. They went in school ALL last year. And summer school. And will this year too.
Thereās only in school option unless you home school your kids.
Online for us. She did better and asked to stay virtual and since we just got over catching Covid I donāt feel comfortable sending her back just yet.
I donāt think thereās a right or wrong answer.
I think it all depends where in this crazy world you are as to what is best.
Iām in WA, Aus now where there is only the occasional case so my kids are in physical school. But until this time last year we were in Wales, UK where cases are still in the hundreds daily so if we were still living there then no I would be keeping them home.

We went in person last year. This year our district is only allowing all virtual to a certain amount of kids. Particularly kids who have shown that they can handle that kind of learning.
Yes. We were in person last school year.
The high schooler will go in person the middle and elementary will be virtual
Yes and he will be wearing a mask even he is the only one.
Yes, my daughter just started kindergarten
My kids school will only allow virtual if you have special medical circumstances. Other than that, back to class. My son was in prek so he went all year long but my daughter did virtual the whole year. My husband did not want her to go back
Iām not, but they were already in online school for a few years now. Private school was too expensive and public school was out of the question.
I donāt have a choice, I work 64 hours a week to pay rent and am in school myselfā¦
Iād keep her home if I had time to help her cause god knows she needs it. But I provide for 3 generations so 
Yes I am. My daughter needs the routine and when we lock down she is still allowed at school due to being a vulnerable kid
Mine went back September last year and then full time from the start of the year
i dont know where you are from but in the uk it is a legal requirement no choice

My 8 year old is repeating second grade after failing it the first time. My oldest has gone to 5th. Theyāre both doing in person because I believe they need that social interaction and itās good for me because I work as well. The school is taking all precautions necessary to ensure their students safety. Canāt put them in a bubble for life.

We will be doing in person school. Iāll have a Senior and hopefully itāll be as normal as possible. We canāt get back to ānormalā if people arenāt willing to trust that their childās school is going to do everything it possibly can to keep your children safe.

No. We established a good system at home so weāre maintaining the good vibes and staying virtual with our county public schools.
Our county canāt seem to care enough about one another to get our infection rates down. A couple of parents who attend the local gymnastics establishment have Covid-19 positive children in the hospital so we take this very seriously. Praying we get a better handle on our infection rates. Until then, our bubbles shrink.
