[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly don't understand why FCPS decided being virtual means they don't have to teach *hit on Mondays. How do they justify this? Seriously want to know. [/quote]

Well I'll give you the brief highlights since this topic has been covered countless times. Teacher still need time to attend meetings and plan for virtual instruction. Many teachers, especially in elementary, have shortened planning blocks because specials went from 60 minutes to 30 minutes.

The county decided to use Monday for that day since Monday was already one of the most frequently missed days due to holidays and other events. Some parents applauded this decision because they did not want their students to be on computers in Virtual Learning 5 days a week. Other parents appeared very distressed that their students would be missing 20% of the education.

One of the most problematic issues with both parents and teachers is that Mondays don't seem to be standardized across the county. Some teachers use the half day to meet with their students and give them differentiated instruction while other teachers just use it as a asynchronous day.

I hope this helped you catch up.[/quote]

it still doesn't explain why 5 day of in-person instruction manifests to 4 days of (sometimes) full instruction and 1 day of "catch up on all your already-assigned work." that rewards the slacking students and that's really failing the kids who consistently keep up and want to be educated.

The 4 days aren't to benefit the kids there to benefit the teachers.[/quote]
