[quote=Anonymous]The Maryland State Board of Education is meeting on Tuesday, Sept 1, 9 AM to consider an item on Student Engagement. The recommendations include 1.5 (Pre-K) to 5 (High School) synchronous hours, and asynchronous hours to make the daily total instruction 6 hours (3 hours for half-day programs). PGCPS’ schedule does not currently meet all recommendations.

The recommendations:

• Schools must be open for students at least 180 school days.
• All schools must include at least a total of six hours per day.
• [b]A school day for each local school system must include the recommended minimum number of hours of synchronous instruction for each grade band per day, five days per week as indicated in the table.[/b]
• Half day pre-K school day for each local school system must include a minimum of 1.5 hours of synchronous instruction per day, five days per week.
• School systems that have indicated that they are not returning students in person until second semester should reevaluate their reopening plans by the end of the first quarter (after nine weeks).
• Recommended minimum hours need to be implemented by September 28.

The amount of live learning for high school is too much.   5 hours of Zoom live instruction required, every day?  I am an adult and I can't last through 5 hours of Zoom for more than a few days.
