[quote=Anonymous]The article says remote learning is mandatory unless specified.  And that some may require students to repeat a grade if they do not participate.  From what I can tell, local DMV schools are all intentionally vague and coy about any consequences for skipping remote learning.  For the most part, they say work in the fourth quarter will not count unless it helps raise a student’s grade. Fine.  But as attendance, which FCPS will supposedly expend effort to track, it is unclear whether that will have any bearing on the next school year.  Like maybe they’re going to wait and see how many kids will attend before how they will treat it.

It will be unfair no matter how you cut it.  For kids able to complete the year remotely, it will stink to have to repeat every thing again next school.  For kids unable to do so because of parents opting them out or because of other family situations, it will stink having to compete with kids who took advantage of remote learning in the fourth quarter.

It stinks for parents too.  I see remote learning as a bonus, even if the material will be repeated again next year.  My DC, especially the oldest, is going to be peeved that he did school when most of his class didn’t.  Right now I think 5-7 classmates have checked into prepare for FCPS remote learning.  Hopefully, participation will improve next week.  However, this low number concerns me as this is the total for a combined two immersion classes.  It’s going to be a bumpy ride for awhile!

BTW The NCAA has said they will extend eligibility for senior athletes in spring sports due to college shutdowns, but universities like Wisconsin, and presumably many others, are saying no way, as that impacts incoming students.  [/quote]
