But don't you know, MCPS is doing a wonderful job with online education, so it's just as good as going to school - right?

As others have said, it's actually not just about the kids.  It's about parents being able to go back to work.  And yes, school does provide a childcare function (not babysitting).  Some employers are being flexible on extending work from home, but many are not, which even assumes that a particular job can be done from home.

MCPS is just going to have to find a way to open like every other area of the economy.  It has 3 months to figure it out.[/quote]

MCPS is doing as well as it can with distance learning under the circumstances. That doesn't mean that kids shouldn't be back in school in the fall.

Also, the decision about opening in the fall IS NOT A MCPS DECISION.[/quote]

I agree with everything you said except distance learning. DL for my elementary school student is meh but at least there is online instruction. DL for middle schoolers is terrible.  Beyond awful.  They are self teaching busy work.  Unacceptable [/quote]
