[quote=Anonymous]I think that the last two weeks has shown that those who have committed to starting with DL are not looking like fools.  Too many school rushed to open up and get kids into school that they didn't put adequate precautions in place to do so safely.  The fact that there are now dozens of schools that planned for in-person or hybrid learning modules that are doing an about-face and going to distance learning leaving teachers with less than 2 weeks preparation for distance learning.

The fact that there are at least fives states, double digits of school districts and and many students and staff that have either tested positive or come into contact with students and staff that did test positive and are home quarantining.  And school districts are flailing trying to come up with reasonable ways to convert the in-person and hybrid learning systems to adapt to hundreds of students that now have to be accommodated with distance learning options.

Whereas local schools here (excluding MCPS) announced early that they were distance learning and the teachers have had 6-8 weeks to plan for distance learning.  MCPS is the one that looks like fools hemming and hawing and dragging their heels on making the announcement with teachers trying to figure out what and how to plan for school.  They've now lost 4 extra weeks of planning and work (in some cases work that was done to potentially accommodate in-person or hybrid learning being for naught) and are in the same boat as those schools that announced hybrid or in-person and then switched on their teachers last minute.[/quote]
