[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son did not have teachers for half of his classes today at Churchill. For math, Delta math crashed, so he couldn’t complete the day’s assignment. The substitute couldn’t answer any questions.

In an elective class, my son saw the sub bully a disabled student for not wearing the school provided KN95 mask. The boy didn’t like how it felt on his face so he wanted to wear his own mask. The sub told the boy he would catch Covid and die if he didn’t wear the KN95. The boy got really upset.

Then there’s the classes in the auditorium. Just one mass of students there who aren’t receiving any instruction. Just babysitting them for the period.

My son describes his school as online school inside the school. What’s the point? It has all the same downsides as online learning with the extra risk of Covid.[/quote]

Would you be happier if the just shut down for two weeks?  Because there’s no guarantee that the teacher would present for virtual either, especially if sick.  MCPS might be happier to no longer have the task of needing to find additional subs.[/quote]

I would be ok with taking a true pause countywide for two weeks - no school - and making up the missed days on holidays, spring break, and extending the school year. Right now, school is open but no teaching is taken place. There’s no benefit to attend with an increased risk of Covid.[/quote]
