[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents who say their kids are thriving in distant learning, how do you feel about this? Are they thriving because they are only learning 60% of the content?[/quote]

BINGO![/quote]

I was all proud of my kid for getting an A in math this year.  And I still am, but it definitely took the shine off his accomplishment when we discovered how much they left out.  Not his fault obviously we thought it was the full course load. [/quote]

Well, the amount he did learn was proportional to the amount of instructional time he was allotted to learn it in. So the adjusted achievement would be considered equivalent. Give the kid his Bozo button![/quote]

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]

Our kids aren't behind.  Have you done any private school classes?  We did one last summer and our child was far ahead.  It was surprising how far behind the kids were come middle school.  We looked at privates and several were way behind the pubic schools as well even with MCPS being very slow.  Kids will be fine.[/quote]

"Kids will be fine."  Is this phrase in some progressive handbook or something?  It appears anytime someone complains about some cookie progressive policy coming down the pipeline.  Busing?  Don't worry about which school your kid attends. The kids will be fine.  Schools have been virtual for a year and a half?  Don't worry about that. Kids have it worse everywhere else. The kids will be fine.  MCPS is ruining the magnet program by making it a lottery system?  Don't worry. The magnet program isn't that great anyway. The kids will be fine.  MCPS is thinking about doing away with advanced math. Don't worry.  Kids don't really need advanced math. The kids will be fine.  I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't choose to live in Montgomery County with its world-class school system reputation and pay the fortune in taxes so my kids could be "fine" aka "meh." [/quote]

Apart from the comment about busing (busing kids to school has always happened and will continue to) I agree. Why the massive MCPS budget if cutting 40% of content doesn't matter?[/quote]
