[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be great if they could use VA to supplement options at home school, like offer a broader range of languages and let kids at regular HS take a virtual class. There are ways it could be good and have more use, but probably not the way it’s being done. For younger kids, they should probably just improve the existing program for chronically ill children.[/quote] This is a good and level-headed idea, and hopefully where MCPS will end up if they follow the data. In a way, the MVA and the IS calendar have a lot in common. Neither are particularly bad ideas, but both showed minimal to negative gains for the students involved. Assuming we want the Central Office to take action based on data, and in the best interest of MCPS kids, it seems both need to go in the next school year. [/quote]
