[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hope parents communicate this concern bc it is mine as well. We are not sure how to do both. [/quote]

I communicated my concern that the five or whatever hours of Zoom per day is far too much for elementary school kids.  My older two are rising first and third graders, and DH and I both work FT (albeit from home, but our hours aren't super flexible and our workloads have increased due to COVID).  If MCPS doesn't change the proposed hours, we'll figure it out.

[b]Officially withdrawing them and homeschooling is something we're considering.[/b][/quote]

Never thought I would say this, but we are considering this as well. We told our 4th grader that we will stick it out (MCPS) for the first fee weeks and then see how we are all feeling. 
I also expressed this concern to MCPS. My incoming Ker’s behavior PLUMMETS with too much screen time and he is not interested in online “interaction” - ie, a parent will need to sit with him every minute to keep him on task.
The ONLY thing that is keeping us in mcps at this point is that my older kid MIGHT have some friends in their class who they would be able to see and interact with a bit on the zooms.  Oh, and the fact that we both work FT and the idea of homeschooling 1 or both kids is soul crushing. But we are seriously considering it. [/quote]
