How will summer learning address content for students not in summer school or seniors who graduated?

Most seniors in MCPS (or MD for that matter) do not take math.

Then, they are already “ahead”. Hard to declare there’s learning loss in courses that the majority of students will never take in HS or college.

I think mcps still requires 4 math credits to graduate. Have most seniors doubled up on math earlier?

This is what equity looks like folks. I hope you are all starting to see it now. This drastic reduction in education wasn't done for UMC kids. Yet they were held back to the same low standard as everyone else in MPCS. Equity = failure.

Whoever taught you vocabulary failed you.
We’re in a pandemic and affluent parents in MCPS whined about how much work their children had to do at home.

MD requires 4 years of Math in HS. Every senior is required to take Math regardless of the level they are on.

At the elementary level, the things omitted parents could easily teach their kids. The woman they had on the news was whining that her first grader wouldn’t know the value of pennies, dimes, nickels, etc. we are in a global pandemic. Would it kill parents to teach their kids some of these basic life lessons on their own? (I say this as a parent)

Completely wrong. It is required.

Thank the complaining parents who said there as too much work and thanks the parents who don't require their kids to log on and do their work.

I’m fine teaching my kids and filling in the gaps. We have been doing that for years.

But how do you think that will affect the Achievement/Opportunity Gap?

If the material is not being taught IN school, what happens to the kids whose parents choose not to fill in the missing lessons? They just get left further behind. Which is not good for MCPS optics.

Are you really trying to sell the idea that affluent education-obsessed parents wanted the curriculum dumbed down? Come on man. We're the ones doing Kumon and Russian math.
