[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the workaround they came up with on short notice seems pretty good to me.

I deal with Zoom capacity at my workplace though (everyone's licenses have capacity up to 1,000, but we have a special shared license up to 3,000 for the 6 - 10 meetings a year we need it for - and the licensing is quite complex so it isn't just "go click a button online and add more capacity"), so I'm sympathetic to this.

This is not a "workaround they came up with on short notice". The regional quarantine instructional program has been in place since September. Once cases and quarantine numbers started to skyrocket, no one bothered to figure out whether the program's Zoom licenses would be sufficient to handle the uptick. How can you be sympathetic to elementary school kids who are in quarantine having access to only 30 minutes of reading instruction and 30 minutes of math per day? That's it. 1 hour of school. Sympathetic? It's inexcusable, embarrassing and sad. [/quote]

It is for two days and then they will have it fixed by next week. Are you just looking for something to entertain you? This seems like a ridiculous amount of outrage. Kids inherit 11 schools that went into quarantine had to miss an entire day. Many kids are missing instruction due to staff absences. None of it is ideal but this isn’t;t something MCPS is proposing to do to your kid forever. It. is. for. two. days.[/quote]
