[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are regurgitating what "Dr." Reesman posted attacking the school.  Her data on enrollment isn't accurate and the data she is using is expected projected growth but its common kids go up and down or stay stagnant and that's not always a true measure.[/quote]

Why the scare quotes?

Does she not have a doctorate in the field you are discussing?[/quote]

DP but no? She doesn't..her PhD is in neuropsych. That doesnt make her an expert in the field being discussed. She clearly loves to pretend it does though. Anyone who unironically calls themself "Wonder Woman" is questionable to begin with. [/quote]

So, we’re also going to dismiss other neuropsych PhDs who comment on education, right?[/quote]

Yes, she has no experience with this school and is bashing and attacking it for no reason.  It has zero impact on her or her kids.  She should put as much effort into her kids she does her posts.[/quote]

No reason? You can argue about the value of VA, but when you look at MCPS's data you can't claim there's no reason to be concerned about VA.[/quote]

You're so ridiculous. Look at regular school's data-many in-person schools are failing right now. Should we shut them down too? There are a ton of MCPS schools with report cards worse than the virtual academy, so if your solution is to shut it down if it isn't working, we should be closing a ton of schools right now.

Sounds absurd right? So do you.

No, but we shouldn't be blindly perpetuating the schools that are failing. We should be learning from the schools that are succeeding. The data, at least at the primary level, indicates that in-person is more effective.[/quote]
