[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There is no reason for kids to be left behind academically. [/b]

- MCPS provided chrome books to all students who did not have access to computers  at home.  
- Khan Academy is free and available to learn
- Many curriculum resources are available online.

If kids are alive and disease-free, they will learn. [/quote]

There are lots of reasons, actually.[/quote]

No reason for most kids.  Special Ed is a different category and their needs are different.  FARMS is a nutritional program and [b]ESOL can be taught through DL[/b].   I would rather have MCPS community alive and well first.  This means kids, teachers and staff - and their families.   We have to adapt and we can absolutely do DL with the support of MCPS and families.  The problem is that MCPS is doing what it can do and it is giving everyone the same service.  It is the parents who are unwilling to do their part and make sure that kids are learning.

Neighbor is a teacher in a Title 1 school.  She mentioned that one issue that people seemed to forget about was that grandma or grandpa is staying home to supervise DL while the parents are at work.  GMA/GPA don't speak English, are not tech savvy, and she mentioned in some cases are unable to read in their native language.  The kids were being supervised but there was no one to assist with learning at home.  An upper elem kid may not need help but a K-2 certainly needed help logging into zoom.
Unless you taught ESOL last quarter and had 100 percent participation, you have no idea what you are talking about. Average participation was 25 percent and that’s being generous. DL ESOL was a flop. [/quote]

Kids not attending school is the same as kids not attending DL. It’s the responsibility of the parents. You people love to blame everything on teachers don’t you?  Prior to COVID-19, if a kid doesn’t show up to the bus stop or go to school, did you also blame the teachers?[/quote][/quote]
