[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The resident virtual school lover must be losing her mind over the prospect of letting her kids leave her sight.

There's always homeschool![/quote]

Grow up and realize getting rid of VA just keeps MCPS back in the past while the rest of the world moves forward. Virtual options are available at districts all over the country. [/quote]

This… it’s embarrassing that MoCo parents refuse to evolve because they are still angry about 2020. [/quote]

MVA is one of very few things MCPS did right.[/quote]

Really? I heard it wasn’t very good. Maybe that’s partly why enrollment has been dropping.[/quote]

Not in the Middle/High School.  There are two MVA families in our block - they have very happy and their kids are doing great.

I, on the other hand, could not be more dissatisfied with our local MS (Tilden) The only one good thing about it is their drama production  Everything else is a complete waste of my tax money.  I honestly think my kid would be better off homeschooled. Oh yeah, and our HS is overcrowded.  So, guess where all those virtual students will go? Yup, in person to the school that is about to burst at seams.  I wish MCPS actually spent their efforts on where they are needed.[/quote]

Agreed. I think one of the reasons it works better for MS and HS is because classes are much smaller, kids aren’t as lost in the shuffle.  And most students are more independent at that point.  ES requires more parentental involvement.[/quote]

Here’s the problem, you are guessing and basing things off how you perceived them to be vs reality.  And, let’s say we take your narrative.  That means MVA should get more, not less money.

All kids regardless need parental involvement.  [/quote]
