[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a shame that summer school offerings can’t be more, dare I say, equitable. Why can some schools offer virtual while others can only do in person and then several haven’t even posted anything yet about summer school. Looks like Wooton is the only school that has their act together when it comes to the poorly launched Health B class.[/quote]

They need teachers to teach it and not all schools have teachers willing.[/quote]

And for the online Health B, the schools were expected to rework the in-person curriculum for virtual themselves, since there isn’t an MCPS virtual curriculum for it yet. It’s hard enough to get teachers for summer school, let alone teachers with time and energy to rework the curriculum as well. [/quote]

The in-person version is 8-12:30 M-F for 14 days (assuming a holiday), or 63 hours.  Health is usually taken over 2 quarters, so roughly 90 instructional days. My math says that this class may be abbreviated in duration, but it is not very abbreviated in time.  the 63 hours of class time is equivalent to 42 minutes of instruction for 90 days.  This is VERY different than the compacted central summer school version.[/quote]

That sounds like a miserable two weeks.[/quote]

Really sucks for the class of 2025 and beyond.[/quote]
