fayette schools parent

parent talks abut what to expect

Tom kenny.

In our top story at 11... fayette county public schools announcing it's looking to begin classes the week of august 24th.

What that will look like...no one yet knows.

To help figure it out...the district sent out a survey to parents for input...and it includes some options.

Abc 36's bobbi mcswine got some early survey results from a fayette county parent.

###### kids are gonna be kids.

Something aaron kennedy...who has a daughter about to enter eighth grade at beaumont middle school...knows all too well.

And the kids are gonna be so anxious to get back to school, i think that a lot of the rules are going to be broken.

Kennedy says if he has to choose an option given by fayette county schools in a survey wednesday...he votes for the one where kids can be in school for two days and be online for three...but he would like school to start in september instead of august.

He says that option is the safest...while also allowing his daughter learn in- person...but he has concerns.

The thing that i don't like with the online thing is if the kids have questions.

He says it was hard at times to get in touch with his daughter's teachers this past semester...and says it caused her grades to drop...and she agrees.

I didn't really like it because it was harder.

I'm more of a visual, up close learner - not really over the computer.

Though kennedy says santizing the school and having kids wear masks is good...he says it goes beyond personal hygiene...and extends to the technology kids carry in their pockets.

They touch everything and then they touch these cellphones.

If they can eliminate the cellphone thing it would make me feel more comfortable but he says he knows that might be a stretch.

Kennedy says he knows re-opening schools won't be an easy process...but it'll all come together in the end if everyone is patient.

"time heals all wounds, and if people just do what they're supposed to do and just give it time, i think we'll get over this."
