[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t mcps hold school over zoom this Wed and Thursday?[/quote]

Lack of forewarning to families so some students don’t have a device at home.[/quote]

We only knew this storm was coming for over a week ahead of time 🙄[/quote]

And DCUM was pretty insistent that people were fools for preparing. Even the day beforehand, posters insisted everyone would be able to resume their normal routines on Monday.[/quote]

You are making things up.  Maybe I don’t spend as much time on DCUM as you do, but everyone I knew took this storm warning seriously.  If you went to many grocery store, shelves were empty, if you went to a hardware store-shovels and salt were in short supply.  [/quote]

+1. I question anyone who makes any statements about what “DCUM says” because there are thousands of posters but there were literally dozens of threads of how to prepare, what to buy in advance, what to cook, what to do if you lost power, experiences from past storms etc.

This storm wasn’t a surprise and MCPS should have done more to plan for a long closure like we’re having now, including virtual learning.  That they didn’t means that they didn’t want to do so because it’s easier to do nothing and have kids lose instructional time.  [/quote]

We don't need to lose instructional time. We can add real make-up days to the year. We don't need to wait until the end of June, nor do they need to be half days.[/quote]

+1 And I think there will be far fewer absences on 3/20 or 4/15 than 6/24-27. [b]And those who do have family/holiday/travel plans can have an excused absence[/b].[/quote]

Not under current rules. They’ll be forced to lie about illness.[/quote]
