[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My gifted child is in Virtual Academy, because there aren't enough seats in magnets, and they made the horrible decisions of picking students by lottery. She was in pool but not picked. Virtual Academy allowed her to jump ahead when her home school did not. Virtual Academy serves many families with medical or other needs and is here to stay. It was in the works before the pandemic and will be here after the pandemic. All school systems should have a virtual arm. [/quote] If this is true VA sounds awesome. I would only be concerned about the lack of socialization. My from experience, districts that had VA pre-COVId typically didn’t use it for accelerated learning. Instead it was used for students with disciplinary problems. I’m glad that this dynamic has been changed and that it can provide a true option for accelerated learning at a time when MCPS is intentionally diminishing those options. [/quote]
