[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here it is again...parents in this county are so behind the times. Most districts across the country have offered virtual options since the early aughts. The fact MCPS only did in 2020 because of the pandemic is embarrassing. It's time to join the rest of the country in the 21st century without complaining because remote instruction didn't work for your kid during the pandemic. It's so absurd. [/quote]

That post isn’t accurate and a clear bias.  If anything they should support it as it helps with overcrowding and far cheaper.  What they did not report was that home schools with under 10 kids are listed a zero.  I could not figure out why mine were not listed on there. What happened during Covid virtual was very different but it takes a lot of parent involvement so if the parents are not invested it will not work.  It worked well for my kids.  Parents were upset they had to be involved and monitor their kids.  They want to send them to school, let the kids be the schools problem and check out.  When you look at that post what it does tell us is mcps is failing all together and they need to fix the academics and focus more on the students.   And, give the mva more money to be successful.  They should get an equal amount as every other school and program gets.  Given what they have to work with, they seem to be doing well.  They need to ask the families who left why they left.  Most families I know who left it was for social reasons and the home schools are supposed to allow activities, sports and things like outdoor ed and graduation and they are excluding the virtual kids forcing them to come back.
