[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS and Wilson administrators are incapable of any type of complex and creative planning so expect a Wilson shit show in the fall[/quote]

Quit with the negativity already. I know DL stinks and I know we need our kids back in school. But your comment is untrue and unnecessary and hyperbolic. What would YOU propose?[/quote]

There has been a ton of variation across public schools in how they have handled this and though I would LOVE for my Wilson student to be in person now, overall I have been very impressed by the way Wilson has handled DL.  My child has had synchronous instruction pretty much from 9:30-4pm 4 days/week and enough homework to cover Wednesdays.  This is WAY more than my middle schooler and more than many MoCo public schools (and even some private schools), from what I hear from friends.  I think Wilson pivoted to the 4x4 schedule so that they would be able to accommodate more synchronous instruction, which was both "complex" and "creative."  I give them a lot of credit (and have every expectation that they will work hard to get all the kids in person in the fall).[/quote]

This is complete BS. They pivoted to the 4x4 because central office has been wanting them to. All the other comprehensive high schools in DC are 4x4 and Central wants all the comprehensive high schools to follow the same schedule. It is also better for kids who get an F as they can then take the class again right away. Of course, your child should have more hw than middle school - what does that even mean? And eye roll at the Wilson is doing better than MCPS and privates - like you have any real idea about that.[/quote]

I find it amazing when people start a comment by calling something BS and then unload a pile of it themselves.  (1) I don't know what you mean by "comprehensive" high school, but it is certainly not the case that all DC high schools are 4x4 (Walls, for example, is not) and I'd love to know your source at "Central" for getting everyone on the same schedule; (2) my comparison between Wilson and the experience of my middle schooler was clearly about the amount of synchronous instruction (not just homework);  and (3) re: your eye rolling, I have two relatives teaching in local private schools and several friends with high schoolers in MoCo....but more importantly, I give zero f**ks if you think I have any idea what I'm talking about.
