All or nothing. Half days or alternating days or weeks will never happen. The logistics are impossible to implement on this short notice. Forget quality and effectiveness of DL, just attempting the jumble of logistics will collapse the capacity and budget of schools, the patience of teachers and parents and students, significant learning, parents' personal finances and careers and sanity, and on and on.

If MCPS attempts a convoluted hybrid model with not a single proof-of-concept example to show us, or other cases to highlight where hybrids worked, or even an internal study showing feasibility, and it collapses, there will be a revolt. So it's a political decision. These "leaders" better know they're playing with fire.

There will be no revolt. Look at the BOE elections we had just this week. The top two candidates are typical "establishment" -- endorsed by the teacher's union or ex BOE members, or both.

MCPS has shown a pattern of not listening to parents before -- they're not going to start now. Remember, they know better than us what we want and need.

It's sad really. If they go with all DL or the 2 days on/2 days off model, we are planning to move in with relatives in another state where their schools are likely be  open normally. Our kids are young elementary and at that age, distance learning just doesn't work.[/quote]
