[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like homeschool is being viewed as the better option of the three by more and more families.

The DL and hybrid options don't work well for parents with jobs.   Even with hybrid they have 3 days of kids at home and need to be, or provide a teacher assistant, to keep kids on task those days.  I understand it is impossible to know how well any given program may work in part because it all depends on how many asymptomatic kids are in the system.  The World Health Organization, still credible to me at least, says we should be pushing for outdoor school.

Distance learning and hybrid don't work well for parents with paid employment, but homeschooling does?![/quote]

Yes, because it you have better control over work and time. There’s no requirement that school has to happen from 9-3. Most homeschoolers, esp little ones, finish their work in less than 6 hours.[/quote]

Yeah my son had 45 minutes of synchronous time (and didn’t really need to be there).  We were effectively homeschooling him. Or unschooling, in our case, as we tried to stay employed. 
I infer that you have zero personal experience with MCPS in the age of coronavirus.[/quote][/quote]
