[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virtual learning is a no-brainer. It’s not perfect but these are exceptional circumstances. Half the kids won’t show up on extra days tacked on at the end or on any makeup days. Might as well do virtual learning. [/quote]

Far more kids would attend and participate if they went with March 20, April 15, and June 18.[/quote]

This is why it is so crazy. The three choices they could have made are:

1) school on 3/20, 4/15, 6/18 (would have high highest attendance)
2) a few virtual days during snow (would have less but still fine attendance)
3) add days the last week of June (will have least attendance)

Option 1 would cost the least $, option 2 would have a cost (some Chromebooks and hot spots although they do have many already) and option 3 has the highest cost (over 2 million per day).

I’m sorry but in a situation with tough choices they made the costliest one, that will yield the lowest attendance, and the most minimal educational outcomes. What the actual heck. [/quote]

MCPS has 1-1 chromebooks for all students.  They just have to send them home for ES.  Most MS and HS students take theirs home daily as they do homework on it.  There are low income internet plans.[/quote]
