[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that this was without a doubt one of the dumbest things the state has done with respect of education.  The idea that so many kids are ruining their summers taking this crap just makes me mad.  And  so many take it during summers so they don’t give up the opportunity to actually learn something during the school year.  Look, kids who want to learn!  And we punish them by taking away their summer.  I’m not sure who to write to campaign to get rid of this—clearly no one is happy with it.  Even the teachers think it is dumb.  They should allow kids to test out of it, or substitute AP Psych  or Yoga.  [/quote]

My DD who is very detail oriented, has been spending[b] 2-4 hrs a day doing assignment[/b]s from Health A, and now, Health B. It is really terrible and the cost is crazy too..especially if there are so many students interested, they should lower the cost. [b]There are almost 60kids in DD’s zoom class.[/b]
Why can’t they just do an extra period for students who want to take extra class or elective? Then no one would bother doing so much during the summer.[/quote]

OK, this poster is the troll who has been posting nonsense on this thread. No summer course in MCPS has 60 students. There aren't 90 assignments.

Probably a disgruntled teen taking the course.

Taking a break from Insta, PP? Do your health homework.

This sounds like my kid's experience.  I'll admit that most of the time she seems to be working in front of the tv, so surely that slows her down.  But she spends at least 3 and maybe more hours a day on homework.  I've tried giving her pointers to speed things up.  And I wouldn't be surprised if there are 60 students in a zoom.  She said there are two teachers with different classes (she thinks they are husband/wife) and they are kind of team-teaching so one teaches sometimes and the other teaches other times.  (She told me this in annoyance because she needed to speak with her own teacher about an assignment and her assigned teacher wasn't in the zoom.).  I don't personally object-- more power to them to find a way to do this efficiently and aside from this specific question, there doesn't seem to be a downside to having more kids in the zoom.  But that would amount to 60 kids in a single zoom.[/quote]
