[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if MCPS was in a bubble I'd agree with you.  However, ours kids are competing with kids in private schools here as well as kids in other states and countries that have opened their schools.  Our kids are behind.  I hope there's a plan to catch them up.  [/quote]
If you're worried, testify. Or send your kid to the private school you think better meets your needs.[/quote]

Once again, just because other states and counties have opened up, it does not by ANY means mean they are ahead. I know all you reopeners love to think "disruption" isn't a thing, but it very much is. I sent my kid to live with my sister in MoCo for the duration of the pandemic as I'm a teacher in Arizona. My son has absolutely gotten a better education in MCPS through distance learning that what has been provided in-person out here. We've been open since August (on and off...it has been far from consistent.) BECAUSE of this inconsistency of reopening, closing, reopening, switching to hybrid, switching to virtual, switching to in-person, this year has been nothing more than constantly going over procedures and routines, getting kids settled, finally getting them used to a platform, then it switches again and we starts all over-again. I've never been so far behind in a year, my students have never been this apathetic or listless, and it's not just my classroom..its my colleagues in my grade level,my school, my district, and finally, the rest of the state. All of the teachers and most of the parents out here agree. You think opening school buildings is what will provide your kids with education. Wrong. Stability, consistency, and reliability will. I don't care if you don't believe me because NONE of you will listen to the people who are actually telling you the truth about how it has been. You instead choose to see this through your own lens and think you are correct no matter what. I know this won't change your mind, but your kids will be fine. [/quote]

You can say whatever you like but we've got data that says MCPS watered the math curriculum down by an average of 40%.  No private school here is working that slowly. And many other jurisdictions that did stay virtual did not cut down the curriculum by that much.  MCPS is a joke. [/quote]

¨Watered down 40%¨?  Not at all an accurate statement of what happened this year.  Materials were cut to cover the most important materials in the available time.[/quote]
