[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]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.[/b][/quote]

Exactly. Many schools are like this. Online experience with risk of covid. I was afraid of this outcome when I saw no intention by MCPS to go to virtual for a few weeks in schools where teaching can't be done in person. [/quote]

The teacher shortages seem to be happening mostly at certain schools. My kids' schools are operating normally, for the most part. Makes no sense to pause the entire MCPS system[/quote]

^ Says the MCEA member who wants two weeks of stay at home teaching but keep 100% of spring break and summer break.

If the MCEA would concede to calendar changes to make up for online day or even closed days then schools will be able to pause, staff heal, and learning resumes in person in two weeks. Problem solved but it requires flexibility by the MCEA and teachers.[/quote]
