[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be honest. So many parents in MoCo are reaching their limit trying to WFH while the kids are around. Tons of parents admit their kids are basically learning nothing while trying to learn remotely.  [b]But what now that there is a very real potential for this to drag all the way to the summer/fall of 2021?[/b] A vaccine, even if we assume one is made, will take until then. We should also anticipate a second wave in the fall this year.  Universities are already telling their students that fall semester on campus won't happen. It is highly likely that it will be the same for public schools.  Is this going to require kids to go to summer school over several years so that there will be school for 12 months to catch up?  They may have to eliminate summer breaks for a couple years to fix deficiencies in learning progress from what's basically little schooling for 1.5-2 years.[/quote]

No, there isn't.

The first day of school in MCPS is August 31. That's 100 days from now. 100 days ago was February 13. How much were you worrying about coronavirus on February 13?

Lots of things can happen in 100 days.[/quote]

Universities are already shut down for the fall.  Only a matter of time before mcps follow suit. Wave 2 in the fall will happen just like the flu. The Spanish Flu actually killed more people during wave 2 in the fall than its initial outbreak. [/quote]
