Are you not in Montgomery County? Why are you commenting in this thread?

My kid took Health A online last summer for Whitman. It is possible to have relevance while still not remaining in the area. Would you also like to see my vaccinations and CV?

Why isn't the state offering an online course for the class of 2025 for all of us stuck in districts that can't get their act together? Is it just MOCO?

For those whose schools are offering Health B online this summer:

1) Is it synchronous or asynchronous?

2) If it's synchronous, what time is it offered?

My student did Health A last summer, but that was only possible with his summer activities because he was able to take it as an evening class after camp. The in-person options are all daytime and interfere with his schedule.

Also, has anyone heard about Health B being offered online centrally in the fall, like Health A?

Sure it’s possible to have relevance from elsewhere, but your comment isn’t. Your kid didn’t take Health B and what another place is doing in 2030 isn’t relevant to MCPS or the class of 2025. 🙄🙄

Health B online at DC's school is synchronous, and they can choose whether to attend the morning (8AM) or evening section (8PM) on any given day. The flexibility is nice, not that DC will ever attend the morning one...

I mean, I appreciate that they're learning useful, practical things like that, but that's not what we added on an extra semester of health class for.

Interesting. My son just finished up Honors Health B at Magruder, and I thought the curriculum was good. And health related.

Units included:
Environmental Impact of Food Choices
STI prevention
Evaluating contraceptive choices
Relationship boundaries and consent
Interpersonal safety, abuse, assault, consent
Using Interpersonal communication to ask for help/to offer help
Grief and Loss/Healthy Coping
Impact of Substance Abuse
Stigmas in health care
Influence of racism and discrimination on health care
Personal health and wellbeing
Self wellness assessment

Are they doing gender theory or was that not put in the curriculum yet?

Thank goodness. My son is taking it this year, so hopefully it won't be until he's done with it.

I'm assuming our children attend the same school. Not sure if it was available to all students at the school or only 2025s. I believe it was open to students with scheduling constraints due to alternative programming that prevents them having time to take it during the school year.

I would call the class hybrid- there are 8 synchronous sessions and a lot of work to do independently, with extra opportunities to check in.

No. I'm worried he might be indoctrinated with far-left, illiberal, anti-science propaganda. That is MCPS's official stance after all.

No, I don't think so. We don't have that level of detail, and I believe this class is all synchronous.

That’s only possible if it’s 2-3 hours a day.

We don't have any specific information other than first class is Wed, show up 8-9:30 (AM or PM, your preference).

There are more important topics to discuss.
