MoCo parents are so insufferable.

There was no reason to close when we could go virtual.

There was no reason to go virtual when there are 8 make-up days on the MCPS calendar.

Everybody is closed. No one is going virtual.

Parents who are so convinced that we can easily go virtual (and should) are beyond dense. I feel bad for your children as you clearly don’t see the value of how much learning can happen during a snow day. But you’d rather stick your kids behind a tablet, screen, whatever, instead of being a parent and making memories with your child? I actually feel badly for your children and no amount of virtual learning will undo poor parenting and the complex your children will have as they get older.

What are you rambling about? Making memories? You should do that regardless but your rationalization makes zero sense. These days will have to be made up. You refuse to support your kids for a day on virtual. That’s lazy parenting. My kids handle virtual just fine. No complex here.

Right- it's going to be made up with a real school day instead of a haphazard virtual day where teachers can't cover anything because 3/4 of the class is absent.

Exactly! I've got a full day of cuddles, sledding, hot cocoa, and crafts planned.

Oh it's still going to be that because they'll choose a useless makeup day like spring break or end of year where no one is there. Although the state always gives them a waiver anyway.

Well, aren't you a bundle of joy. I'm a different poster, but I'm working from home today and managing, ironically, a remote client audit. And interspersed there will be cocoa, sledding, and, you might want to cover your ears, but there will also be.... video games with my daughter. Our crafting will most likely be straight from the 3D printer so she can complete a robotics project on her day off. Boy, it's tough being a dad these days.

Yup, I’ve got a full day of interruptions and stress planned.

DP. There will be years and years of career obligations. We rarely get accumulating snow in DC. PP’s kids (and yours) will remember how they were spent. My mom never played with me in the snow. Not once. She was too busy.

So busy! Yet you seem to be making time for DCUM.

So you're not going to be working. At least, not most of if the day.

OK, but that isn't reality for most others.

no virtual day tomorrow partly because after changing the 3rd party log in permissions with student Google accounts they can no longer log into zoom.

Seriously?

This will be fixed, right?

Read above. It's not the issue.

Virtual school on snow days isn’t my concern about it. My students use Zoom for virtual field trips and other activities. If it isn’t fixed, we lose those opportunities.

Your daughter is in for a great day, but I’m glad I am not your client.

My current 3rd grader had virtual kindergarten during the pandemic. I have ZERO desire to repeat that experience again for even one day for my current kindergartner.

I will be juggling work as much as I can but that has nothing to do with the farce that is virtual school. It is what it is. I think they made the right call. Maybe I’d feel differently if I had a HS school student preparing for AP exams.
