No. You just want free childcare under the pretense of pretending to care about education.

Nope. My kid doesn’t go to MCPS. I just pay property taxes into a system that’s too crappy for me to even want to send her to.

But as it happens, the general social arrangement is:

Adults work
Kids go to school

The former doesn’t work well without the latter. It’s not “free childcare.” It’s a working society.

+1 I don’t know why some nuts on this forum seem to attack anyone who wants their child educated as “someone who hates spending time with their children.” I can only conclude that these people are not very bright.

Be serious - if this one storm is enough to jeopardize your child’s entire education then you have problems a snowplow can’t solve.

Seriously. If Larlo can't make it to college because Monday is closed and possibly a few more days this week, it's on YOU

It’s not about Larlo not making it to college. It’s about MCPS systematically shortchanging students of all ages instructional hours by refusing to build in adequate snow day, refusing to even submit a plan for virtual learning instruction to the state the way other Maryland school districts did and preferring to add half days in the end of June that contain zero instructional value.

Ah so you want virtual learning and are going to hyper complain about street clearing to further the argument that we need to waste time and money on crappy ineffective virtual school. Got it

No one is asking for virtual all the time (ok maybe some posters and mcps parents are/were). Have virtual for weeks like this. It doesn't have to be an all day thing. A few hours of synchronous time with teacher and class, and some asynchronous work with check in.

+1. I'd say my preferences in order are 1) built in snow days, 2) using makeup days that aren't at the end of the school year, 3) virtual, 4) June makeup days. I'd rather not have to use virtual schooling, but it's preferable to half days in June, which is what we got last year.

We already pay thousands of dollars a year into a system that’s crappy enough that we don’t even send our kid there. I’m really not inclined to pay even more into it.

Why are you here if your kids don't even go to MCPS? Are you the same poster insisting kids should ice skate to school come what may?

We've had enough of your nonsense

No I’m not.

I’m here because I’m goddamn frustrated that I pay thousands for a crappy system I can’t even use.

We should pay more in taxes to prevent this in the future. Taxes are a good thing.

Every 10 years or so allocate more $ for clearing after a storm.

My kid is perfectly happy watching tablet all day while I work from home. This isn't about child care. It's about the fact they're missing their education.

NP. That is concerning. How would you even know that if you haven’t allowed it?

Neglectful.

Move to AZ where people barely support the schools and ignorance abounds.

When MCPS closes child care, there isn't much of an alternative. Most us need to work and don't have a nanny.

DP. And aren't they on screens at school on a regular day? So sounds like it's the same at home.

Mine aren't. The chromebooks just come out for a little bit at the end of the day.

If they are opening child care at all sites, they should be opening schools. If it's like last Friday, they won't open district wide.

You're right that they should open, but then MCPS staff would have to work. They might still be nursing their hangovers.

I quit drinking on Thursday. It's been all narcotics since then so I'll be good to go

There are baby sitters. Even a 12 year old mother’s helper is better than a tablet.

I don’t have my students use a computer most days. Went back to paper and pencil this year for the most part. If we use Chromebooks, it is usually for a part of the lesson and then they are bavk on paper.
