No virtual. Teachers didn’t want virtual. Code red |

| The message earlier today said Code Purple is for an extended weather event and multiple consecutive closings. |

Teachers did not have any say in whether it would be virtual or not. |

Seriously? You think anyone in MCPS asks teachers for input! Ha! Did you read the email from MCPS sent late this afternoon about Code Purple days? |

Seriously? Why would you say that? We tried to make it work and many of us were fine with it. |

Didn't you see the message from today? They never considered doing virtual according to the central office. Would McKnight lie? |

How do you know the teachers did not want virtual? |

I mean, and i know this is a lot but, you could, like, teach your own kid, if learning was so important to you that a handful of days off school create this level of angst.

This isn't on the teachers. They just didn't have a way to do virtual for elementary grades, do they would have needed a make up day anyway. |

Well I guess it's good they opened today so they didn't have to bother with virtual! |

That is incorrect. It’s not a virtual day because MCPS is not yet prepared for virtual learning - schools were told they had until 1/26 to prepare plans so some don’t have those together yet, not all students bring Chromebooks home daily so not everyone has a device to work on, schools that use carts to charge chromebooks have chargers to send home with kids…it’s a lot of things, but teachers did not make this decision. |
