[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, I know that there are some pandemic-era parents whose kids had a hard time and are kind of scarre from those days, but can y'all try to step back and be rational rather than react emotionally from a "I hated the COVID year" place?  The rest of us are tired of our kids losing multiple days of education every year due to snow days and would like our kids to actually get some learning in rather than those useless last few days of school. We get it, not all kids learn well online, but you guys act like it's the end of the world .. pretty clearly some kind of trauma response, and again, I get it, but fake a breath and try to move through it.

You must be an online learner as you've failed to read this thread where it has been pointed out that:

1) Virtual learning didn't just fail during the pandemic. It also failed during summer school, which is why MCPS is dramatically scaling back on virtual summer school options this year
2) It tried to do an asynchronous learning day in the 2023-2024 school year. It went so poorly the state said MCPS cannot pivot to virtual instruction again with a robust, pressure tested, approved plan and structure to do so.

Insisting MCPS should do something, despite multiple failed attempts at doing so, just because you want them to is definitely a trauma response on your part. Or maybe it's just ignorance. I don't know. But you need to look in the mirror before you start psychoanalyzing anyone else.[/quote]

There are multiple people posting on this thread pointing out that you have no evidence for your statement that MCPS virtual interventions were worse than doing nothing and that many many school districts are offering virtual learning after this storm because it’s better than…doing nothing.

I know this because I am posting and see others who are not me also posting that also disagree with you.

So maybe you can see psychological support of your own if you think you can accurately judge the motivations and trauma of multiple DCUM posters who are saying that you make no sense and just want an excuse to do nothing at all. [/quote]

There are equally many posters posting and telling you virtual learning doesn't work. You don't have a monopoly on the facts just because you want virtual learning on snow days.[/quote]
