Meanwhile MCPS couldn’t even bother to get a virtual learning emergency plan approved by the State of Maryland [/quote]

Because of y’all.

The public comments process was going to be an unnecessarily drawn out process because all of you think your opinion adds something of value. It rarely does. It just slows down the process and creates a situation in which the many are miserable because you cannot pacify the few.[/quote]

Yes, one of the few good decisions they made was jumping to what we all already know: "virtual learning" doesn't work for too many students to be a legitimate option.[/quote]

The purpose of snow day virtual learning is to technically meet the requirement for number of days.  It doesn't have a benefit for the kids, it just takes away the option of make up days.  So, essentially virtual learning is forcing schools to keep 1:1 devices that go home, which we KNOW is terrible for children, and trading a day of school for a day in which they learn very little.  Virtual is also hard on parents, because kids often need help.

The exception might be kids in AP classes, but allowing AP teachers to send homework assignments, and not pretending that's asynchronous instruction, is the obvious solution there.

How does that help the PP who scheduled her European vacation for June 22nd and a special NYC day trip for tax day?[/quote]
