[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much debate about something that is already settled in the law. They can’t do virtual learning because they never submitted a plan to the state, because they didn’t think it would work. It’s over.[/quote]

Other Maryland school districts did.  Anne Arundel, Baltimore in Maryland are doing virtual today.

Alexandria is doing virtual learning now too.  DCPS did virtual yesterday and is in person today.

It’s just MCPS with its billion dollar budget that could take a field trip to Baltimore and Anne Arundel and learn how to submit a virtual learning plan and include more than 1 snow day in its calendar from its peers.

If they do so, they should talk to a broad set of students and parents.  Include younger kids with working parents.  Include lower socioeconomic demographic groups.  Include students with special needs. Find out how much new material was taught, and how many students needed it retaught later.[/quote]

Again, it's not apples-to-apples to compare virtual learning to a typical day at school.

It's apples-to-apples to compare virtual learning to a half day tacked on to the end of the school year in June when grades are in, teachers are checked out, and students just want to be at the pool.[/quote]
