Even when kids are in school in person, they only spend so much time on direct instruction. The rest of the time the kids are doing the work. So if they truly use all of each hour for instruction, hopefully they won't miss out on too much!
Our virtual MS/HS schedule is also 4 days a week.
T/TH-4 classes for 80 minutes each
W/F-the other 4 classes for 80 minutes each
But they've told us that the kids won't be online for 80 minutes straight. Within each 80 minute block they're trying to replicate the school day, with some time spent in direct instruction to the full class, some time spent in small groups, and some time spent offline doing individual work.
