Indeed. Virtual Education PhDs are just as meaningless as in-person Education PhDs. |
What are those numbers? |
You get textbooks in middle school. 30 or more kids in middle school is normal. Textbooks are not normal. Buy them if you can. We did for hs last year and will for one class this year if they don’t come this week. |
They should give buses for magnets as it’s optional. Be thankful. We have to drive to our regular school as the walk is unsafe. |
🙄 well your comments explain why there is still a bullying issue at MCPS. Apples don’t fall far from their rotten trees. |
DP it was kind of disturbing to read in WaPo about the child with no medical needs that is going into third grade for in person school for the first time, did the MVA apparently solely because her older siblings did it. Hopefully Taylor will find a solution for kids with medical needs. |
Ever consider maybe someone else in the family had medical issues? Or the kids just learn best that way? I doubt Taylor will find a solution. I think he might be a decent guy and trying but the BOE is the problem. |
DP. None of the kids have a medical need. One of the older siblings was bullied, so the mother forced all of the kids into virtual. From the picture, the third grader looked so happy to finally go to school. No doubt there are many more stories like that from the other former MVA kids. |
The problem is that there a very narrow goldilocks zone for such a program. The kids have to be sick enough that they can't go to school, but healthy enough to consistently be able to attend a full day of classes virtually. Even across all of Montgomery County, there aren't going to be a lot of kids that fall between those points. |
Just make up crap that has nothing to do with you or your children. Hopefully you don’t have children. |
Look we know you are the BOE member trying to justify your poor decision that hurts kids. Its ok. We get it. Its all about you. Empathy is not your strong suit. Bless your heart. |
Ok, and? There are lots of small programs, including the magnets and special ed that cater to small groups fo kids - should we get rid of all them too or expand them and make them options for more kids? |
It's really going to make staffing high school grades challenging unless they can partner with other counties to create a shared program. |
