| Well they’ll learn nothing this year |
After 18 months, the young ES kids opting into this will, in particular, will be irreparably behind. |
| 12,000 kids? How many schools will need to be closed or staff reduced by them losing 12,000 students? |
| Well I'm predict where their test scores are heading. Terrible move. |
That's about 17% of the 2020 enrollment of K-6th graders. I'm not exactly sure how principals are supposed to manage their budgets based on these moving targets. |
Those kids still need teachers, you know. |
| As if PGCPS needed any help floundering. This is terrible. |
A little birdie told me that this is being punted back to the schools. So they won’t lose any students. They now need to figure out how to manage both the virtual and in-person students at the school level. And school starts next week. |
| After listening to a Q&A session with our Principal it sounds like it is being punted back to the Cluster to figure out. |
This is correct. At our school we have three teachers per grade and one of the three is now the virtual teacher. |
What a joke. We're out of here as soon as possible. |
Well, the parents selected virtual for their kids. In fact they demanded to be added to virtual sessions... so the school district responded. |
If you could have afforded better why move to the cheap side of town in the first place? You get what you pay for in life |
Why do you assume I could have afforded better or can now? |
