Wow, you seriously cannot deal with the DL. So sorry for you since it is what our kids will be doing - unless you move elsewhere.

Oh, and didn't realize I needed to compose a dissertation in order to post my opinion. You seem to be just fine say a whole lot of nothing. My point is that DL is not new. Let's all learn from others who have done it well and encourage MCPS to examine the options.

Your point was that you know that there must be effective practices for remote instruction, because DoD has used remote instruction, but you don't know what those effective practices are - and you also don't know whether the practices DoD has used for remote instruction are effective, though you didn't say that.[/quote]

Here is my actual post. Please try to actually read it.

Distance Learning (DL) is NOT new. The Department of Defense Education Activity (https://www.dodea.edu/dvhs/index.cfm) and others have been doing DL for decades around the world.

Yes, we were all surprised by the pandemic.

While our kids may still be able to do F2F learning in the classroom at some point, the MCPS leadership needs to step up and be prepared to use current, effective DL practices so our kids can learn.

The content delivered between March and the year end was less than satisfactory. Many teachers tried and others were just not capable or there was no expectation that they try.

As we head into 2020-21, our kids need more engaged teachers who are willing to teach on a video conference platform and not just send worksheets and videos. [/quote]

So, what are those current, effective practices? How do you know they exist? How do you know the Department of Defense schools are using them? How do you know MCPS isn't using them?[/quote]
