[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually thought this was one of the more useful messages we have gotten. The bar is low, though. [/quote]

They said very little and I anticipate broken promises particularly with ZOOM for virtual.[/quote]
ES doesn't get zoom. MS and HS are already using it.[/quote]m
I asked my son who is a HS student and he said none are using it to allow quarantine kids to hear/stream class material.[/quote]

We (MCPS staff, at least at my school), were just told earlier this week that this was something we could do.  So you will probably see it increasing in the days ahead.[/quote]

It seems really principal-dependent.
A few schools started using it right away and many teachers are participating. At other schools it's not really supported very well so teachers are not using it.
Speaking of equity, the wealthy schools seem to be streaming more. How is that equitable?[/quote]

My first-grader who is currently on quarantine since this Monday is getting 2 live interactive zoom classes a day with 5 other first graders in his school taught by a first-grade teacher at the school.  They are teaching the exact same curriculum as the in-person students.  The first-grade teachers have been taking turns teaching the virtual reading and math class each day.  This sucks that he won't get this next week because he was actively engaged with the teacher today since it is only 6 students in his zoom class today. Since he is not allowed to return until next Friday it sounds like he will have to do the prerecorded videos next week.  [/quote]

This sounds like more than other students are getting (i.e. those participating in the regional model).

There’s only so much we can expect teachers to do.  Sure MCPS saying the livestream/zoom would just be for students to watch, not to interact with the teacher, but do you guys think parents will be satisfied with that? They’ll just keep pushing for more like they always do. I respect the principals who are holding the line and trying to protect their teachers from burnout.[/quote]
