I would rather do distance learning since it is definitely a safer approach  and then I would lower the risk of catching any viruses. I also would keep my family safe and personally, I don't like In-Person learning. "The CDC guidelines also say that distance learning is safer.

Distance Learning is the best way to keep people safe

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
With the pandemic going on, one of the main problems for schools is choosing between distance learning and hybrid learning. The better option is distance learning as there would be more safety for students, staff and their families. Because some students live with family members that may have compro…

No Distance learning 'cause   it sucks,  its just bad. All you  do is work, no  fun for most  of the time, and well it's just worse.

"I think not having those everyday distractions in school has really allowed for kids like him to focus on the work and not necessarily all the social things going on because some kids can't separate that out." Said Woodard. Students do better online because they aren't other people who are randomly playing outdoors or doing PE. That can be distracted.

i would chose in person because its better so i dont get as distracted then i am at home. and i get to see my friends as well. "Research shows that students learn more when they are in-person at school." i do learn a lot more in school than online. and all the lag as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like in person school because I can interact more with my friends, be more active, and I could talk more with my friends

# data[].attributes.body
I chose in-person learning because there will be "fewer distractions" and it will be more fun. Also, you won't get lag out, and when it is "in-person students can ask questions more easily.

# data[].attributes.body
I would rather be in person because you could see your friends in person.Second you don't get kicked out of the zoom again and again.3rd is that we could play outside

# data[].attributes.body
I would rather have digital learning because; 1. "It would lower the chance of getting a virus". 2. It is more comfortable. 3. Plzplzplz sleep in class.

I would want to do in person because back in dinstance learning i know for a fact i lost a lot of feild trips and i also lost the time to have in person activities and its more fun if you did in person because you cant see your friends and play with them but in distance you dont have much fun but stare at a screen all day.

# data[].attributes.body
i enjoy irl. Because my grades went up from when I was on distance learning because I am more comfortable.

# data[].attributes.body
I think in person school is better because there is more things to do like play with your friends in person,you can also see things better.Research said that students learn more when they are in-person at school. Students receiving in-person instruction have fewer distractions increased concentration, and can receive more direct, personalized learning experiences that keep them from falling behind.

I perfer in person because i get to see all my friends . I get to go to school in person and i get to see my teachers and i would be easer
that you wouldent have any glitches and it wouldent be any troble

# data[].attributes.body
I would pick in person learning because only 44% of the children choose distant learning. My second reason is that if you choose in person learning, the teacher can see you, in zoom, you might just hide under your table and never come out until the end of the day.
My third reason is because sometimes zoom glitches and you won't be able to hear anyone or can anyone hear you.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to be in-person because I can do so much more activities. "A research shows that they learn way more in-person." Lastly, the teachers can actually look at you. Sometimes students would play games on their Ipad and not listen to the teacher. This is why I think in-person is better then distance learning.

At KIPP Texas Public Schools, we strongly believe that in-person learning is the best option for our students. Inside our schools, there is more joy and rigor, the best academic and social-emotional experience and development for students, and a safe learning environment that continues to follow the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines. We are committed to providing a safe, rigorous, and fun in-person learning environment where students thrive and meet their goals of college, career and beyond.

We also recognize that families may have concerns about sending their KIPPster back to school during the COVID-19 pandemic, and rightfully so. We also have always created environments where even our most medically-fragile students can experience school feeling cared for while also having their needs met.
There are four reasons why we strongly believe in in-person learning:
1. In-Person Learning Supports Students with Forming Stronger Connections

Studies show that socializing and developing friendships helps children learn more about themselves, helps them build empathy, and form lasting relationships with peers.

It probably goes without saying that children are more likely to develop worthwhile connections in-person than online. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) released a statement earlier this summer highlighting the importance of in-person connection for the development of children.

When students are in the same physical setting, making connections feels natural and it is unquestionably easier to reach out to classmates and teachers alike. In-person classes lead to organic discussions where students can bounce ideas off of one another. For remote classes, by contrast, the on-screen dynamic can be impersonal and largely anonymous. "There is little sense of friendship or relationship between the students that would usually be built in traditional in-person classes," says Daphane Carter, KIPP Texas State Superintendent and Chief Academic Officer. "

Connections formed through in-person interaction are crucial to the social and emotional development of children. This especially applies to children with behavioral or other developmental needs.

2. In-Person Learning Creates Stronger Academic Experiences for Students

Research shows that students learn more when they are in-person at school. Students receiving in-person instruction have fewer distractions, increased concentration, and can receive more direct, personalized learning experiences that keep them from falling behind.

When together in the classroom, KIPP Texas teachers can better connect with each individual student and offer more personalized one-on-one attention and coaching.

Interactivity is key in a learning environment. This can be harder to achieve without time spent in the physical classroom, particularly if online learning is delivered to a large class rather than in small tutored groups or one-on-one environments.

Students participating in in-person learning also benefit from more collaborative and hands-on work with their peers. Students can more easily ask questions and solve problems directly with teachers and peers in real-time.

3. In-Person Learning Helps Improve Mental Health

While authentic connection is a huge component of mental health for children, there are a few other aspects that come into play-specifically ones that children can find much easier with in-person learning and interactions.

Just like adults, kids need physical activity, human interaction, a lot of sunlight, and healthy food to maintain their mental health.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics , "...children get much more than academics at school. They also learn social and emotional skills at school, get healthy meals and exercise, mental health support and other services that cannot be easily replicated online."

4. In-Person Learning Suits Different Learning Styles

Every child has a different learning style. Oftentimes, these learning styles are separated into four different categories:

1. Visual, who retain information better if they can see it or watch the demonstration of an idea.

2. Auditory learners, who are at their best when they can hear information.

3. Reading/writing, where children learn best when using the written word by taking notes.

4. Kinetic learners, or children who learn with hands-on experience.

Online learning presents a few challenges for each learning style. For example, kinetic learners find difficulty using physical techniques to retain information when most of the lessons are visual and auditory focused. And auditory learners may be distracted by seeing their peers' faces on screen while the teacher is talking.

Being together in a classroom allows a teacher to guide each student according to their unique abilities, and have a good perspective on whether the children themselves are utilizing them to their best ability.

A More Inclusive Approach

We know many learners find their most enriching development experiences in experiential and personalized learning, from group work with classmates, internships, and mentorships. By incorporating more of these activities as part of the overall learner experience, we have created a more seamless way to integrate hybrid experiences for our middle and high school students that take advantage of the resources in our network and are not siloed to one city.

We are so looking forward to having our KIPPsters back in person for the 2021-22 school year and can't wait to continue walking alongside them and their families, supporting their academic journey, and providing them with the skills and confidence to pursue the paths they choose-college, career, and beyond.

How We Keep In-Person Learning Safe for Your Kids

Helping your children get healthy interaction through in-person learning while staying safe from coronavirus isn't an easy feat. But at KIPP Texas, we're doing our best to provide parents with the resources they need to help their children succeed during this challenging time.

At KIPP Texas, your children can make tons of friends, form bonds with their coaches and teachers, stay active, and release stress.

KIPP Texas highly recommends all individuals wear a face covering when inside our buildings and on our campuses.

We will socially distance to the extent possible in our classrooms, buildings, and offices...with some good old fashioned fun, all while staying safely socially-distanced.

Children and teachers experiencing any symptoms of illness are asked to stay home.

Facilities are cleaned daily, and high-touch and high-traffic areas will be disinfected with greater frequency. disinfected thoroughly and regularly, both by us and a cleaning crew.

We have put together this Health & Safety Protocols document for a summary of these protocols and created a "Health and Safety Guidelines" webpage with this same information for easy access. Additionally, because I know that these high-level protocols do not answer every single scenario and question you might have, we are also sharing this Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document with answers that we anticipate you'll need.

If we do distance learning we have to look at a iPad,computer or a Chromebook all day.

# data[].attributes.body
no distance learning because it is more distracting and lame. i learn so much more in person than online. I dont like it much. its so much harder, and i feel like some people wont contribute as much as in person learning.

# data[].attributes.body
No distance learning because you can get kicked out of the zoom like every 2 minutes and miss some of the class.2nd You could have internet problems and that you can't hear anyone.

# data[].attributes.body
I would rather pick in person. Here is why. Reason 1. In person is better than distance learning because you get to see and play with your friends. 2. Its more better and funner in person because in distance you can be bored. 3. When its in person I learn more than distance learning because I get distracted a lot in distance learning. We can also be very careful because the virus is around. Fact - "In person makes more kids learn more and get less distracted."

In person is better because you get learn better in person
I like to see my friends and  can play soccer.

# data[].attributes.body
I would want to be in person because research shows that "students learn more when they at school". Also most people on distance learning can get distracted or play a video game on a different device and not pay attention to the class for fall asleep. Lastly you can't make sure that the person that is online learning is doing the work.

# data[].attributes.body
i want to do in person because i can see my friend and when you stay at home for school you will use a lot of electric for charging and using and when you don't have wifi you wont be able to do class also when you are not in person you can just sleep and put a picker of you so you can scipe school

# data[].attributes.body
Its just  better in   person 'cause you  can go to play outside, its easier to learn, and "Research shows that students learn more when they are in-person at school. … Students can more easily ask questions and solve problems directly with teachers and peers in real-time. 2) Social-Emotional Development. Students will develop deeper and more meaningful relationships with teachers and peers." -https://lisbdnet.com/reasons-why-in-person-learning-is-better/

# data[].attributes.body
I would not like to be in person because there is a bigger chance of getting sick of coronavirus and other viruses.

# data[].attributes.body
In person! I like to see my friend , play soccer, and see my teacher. zoom can kick people out of the zoom and can be glitch cuz of WiFi. and in zoom the teacher cannot tell the kids to be quiet because but, there mikes are probably on and loud.

# data[].attributes.body
I would chose in person because its better and my computer wont lag anymore and you can see your friends in person and "Research shows that students learn more when they are in-person at school. Students receiving in-person instruction have fewer distractions, increased concentration, and can receive more direct, personalized learning experiences that keep them from falling behind."and thats why I think we should do it in person!:)

# data[].attributes.body
It just makes you lazy and not exited it really is not fun I am NOT proud to say I had 50 missing assignments so just stick to in-person.

# data[].attributes.body
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/easy-to-read/schools-childcare/decision-tool.html here it states that "remote learning is safer". And I also think In-person learning is not great since most children don't follow the guidelines and during recess you can easily see that. And also remote learning is easier for children. I also think that it is much better personally.

I do not prefer distance learning because if you have a iPad next to you, you will get distracted. Also if your doing distance learning and you learning on zoom you can get lag out."Students sometimes feel online learning is impersonal, isolating, and non-interactive."

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like in-person is better because if you learn distance learning, you won't have social learning. Researchs says that kids learn more and better in person than distance learning, and said they have better contractions, more direct, and fewer distractions. Also there might be problems connecting while in-person doesn't have that because there are right near each other. The last reason is because they pay attention more because they don't have back tabs filled with games ans stuff and most people didn't talk and breakout rooms and normal studies because they weren't paying attention.

I would like in person because, you can see your friends in person. You can also talk and the whole class won't hear, like if you have to go to the bathroom and your teacher disabled the chat. The last reason is that there was a lot of lag for zoom and you can't hear what the instructions are.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't like distance learning because it makes you more not active, and you just sit there and stare at a screen for hours, I can't really interact with my friends, and it's hard to focus on the computer.

# data[].attributes.body
I wouldn't choose distance learning because your device can run out of battery or if the internet dies, you can get kicked out for a long time. I also have another reason is because sometimes when zoom glitches, it could kick you out and miss class. When I was on zoom in fourth grade, my teacher reported that another class had half the class kicked out at the same time. And another class had 4 students got kicked out at the same time because of internet issues.

# data[].attributes.body
I wouldn't won't to distance learning because you can't play with your friends.

# data[].attributes.body
I would not want distance learning because you don't get to do as many activities as you can do in in-person class. Second, whenever you zoom it may get really laggy. Sometimes you get kicked out and can't get back in. That happened to me once. Lastly, you always look at the laptop. Even your homework is on the laptop. This is why I think in-person learning is better.

# data[].attributes.body
distant learning is sometimes hard with your background noise, the person glitching you can not understand the person that is talking and they I've been trying to figure out what is making them glitch, and can you have no idea who is sleeping in class turn the cameras off, The Host (teacher) can only request you to turn on your screen.

# data[].attributes.body
If we do ditance learning the teacher wont know what the people are doing some people are not even there!

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think Distance learn can help because some people might need help and get scared to tell to teacher. So Distance learning doesn't really help and can sleep in class.

# data[].attributes.body
when you are on distance learning students can watch the video or play video games in class on zoom without the teacher knowing.

when you are on zoom some students that are unapropet word or language some student don't get pulled out because they might be talking to a friend

when you are on zoom some people pretend to be with no wifi they get there free time but there's don't

# data[].attributes.body
I prefer distance learning because first of all, you could feel more relaxed because you don't need to rush to school as much because you don't need to drive or walk to school because you stay at home. My second reason why I prefer distance learning because the lunch will be better. For me, I hate school lunch. If I do distance learning, I could have better lunch. My final reason why distance learning is better is because it is safe for everyone. According to vibe.us, "According to Arizona State University , approximately 15 million Americans suffer from a social anxiety disorder, or SAD. A lot of these cases start around the time a child is 13. “Education is not ‘one size fits all.’ There are alternatives to traditional school whether a child is struggling academically, physically, or mentally,” they write. “For students who experience social anxiety, an online school may be a viable option.” By chatting through text and video, students may be able to feel more confident in their interactions and perform better in their studies.".

Today's learning environments take full advantage of new technology to make lessons more interactive and engaging. As a result, educators are seeing the benefits of distance learning and finding ways to include those opportunities in their curriculum.

What're the pros of distance learning? Though the shift to remote learning might have been jarring at first, Let's look at how this new learning opportunity can benefit students, educators, and parents, as well as some of the life skills it teaches.

6 Advantages of distance learning for students

Won't forget homework materials

With work and resources digitized, students will always have access to everything they need, which means they won't have to lug heavy backpacks around quite as much. Having everything available on online platforms will help keep them organized. And as a bonus, they'll be able to learn how to navigate these resources on their own.

Reduce social anxiety

According to Arizona State University , approximately 15 million Americans suffer from a social anxiety disorder, or SAD. A lot of these cases start around the time a child is 13. "Education is not 'one size fits all.' There are alternatives to traditional school whether a child is struggling academically, physically, or mentally," they write. "For students who experience social anxiety, an online school may be a viable option." By chatting through text and video, students may be able to feel more confident in their interactions and perform better in their studies.

Flexible scheduling opportunities

Some kids need to work to help provide for their families. However, they still need to make sure they finish school. With distance learning, being able to balance both is a little easier. While education is important, every family's financial situation is different, and distance learning helps to accommodate that reality.

Stay healthy and keep others safe

The COVID-19 pandemic taught us the importance of wearing masks and maintaining social distance as a way of protecting public health. With distance learning, children can stay home when sick without missing out on too many lessons. Not only is this a more comfortable way to learn when they're under the weather, but it also shows the teacher that you value the well-being of the entire class.

Offer accessible to everyone

Though the world continues to make strides, there are unfortunately still places that aren't accessible to everyone. Those with restricted mobility can suffer the most from this. Adding remote learning to your education system opens up new doors for those who need that kind of assistance. Allowing students to learn where they are comfortable also reduces missed lessons and contributes to better learning.

Allow for self-paced learning

Offering students the chance to learn at their own pace comes with many advantages. There are no restrictions set forth by classmates either, and they don't have to worry about feeling like a know-it-all in front of others. Because remote learning is self-paced, students can review the material as often as needed and advance past already known subjects.
