[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank god we’re moving to private school. HCPSS is such a mess.[/quote]

It isn't.  Most school systems are virtual....l over the country. What's a mess are some parents, thank  goodness not many, who are just having trouble accepting reality and are taking it to social media.

The county and school system leadership are both just tremendous. The teachers have gone over and above.   Impressed,  but also super proud. [/quote]

Let me guess, teacher?

There are plenty of school systems in the US which are open for in-person instruction including Carroll county until the latest surge of cases.  You can be impressed by DL if it works for your student. If it doesn't, no one is forcing you to keep your child in the system. We didn't. Couldn't be happier to have left the virutal instruction for those it works well for -- not our kids.[/quote]

No, I am not a teacher. I work as a Fed contractor and have been working virtually since March, and will probably  be virtual for at least another 6 months. I expect  teachers and children to be afforded the same amount of safety as I have.

Not working for you? Find a way to make it work,  as I have. Understand that the world in peril doesn't owe you something it cannot give right now. Figure out Plan B. [/quote]

Given that you are so adaptable and have the luxury of working from home, perhaps might consider having some empathy and compassion for those who are struggling?  [/quote]

You need to have an arrangement. The school  system is not a day care provider.  The school  system is not going to endanger everyone's lives  because  this is difficult. The federal and state government  need to provide funding for  the things people need during  an unprecedented global pandemic .
As for me? No, it's not great, it's not  easy.  I would not ever presume it should be. [/quote]

What? This poster never signed up for being an unpaid educational aide. The school system needs to acknowledge that they cannot provide a good education to their students at the moment without outside help from a parent, daycare provider or extended family member. You can teach whatever you want to a google meet but if someone hasn't found the link and the meeting code to help a kindergartener log on, you are teaching to no one.
No one could plan for a pandemic and virtual learning for a year. It's ridiculous to think that somehow this family should have found someone available and affordable to help their children all day when for years, the public school system was the bedrock of the community which did so. It's more than "daycare". It's an unpaid teaching assistant role.
