[quote=Anonymous][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]

I know how much new material my MCPS kid was taught this week. Absolutely nothing.   My kids were online during the pandemic and learned a lot.  Would I have rather have had them in in person school?  of course.  But their teachers are professionals and they learned math, spelling  and reading comprehension with their teachers.

And when your kids are in MS and HS, online learning is very easy to do. They use their Chromebooks a lot in the classes anyway.

MCPS was negligent to not have submitted a virtual learning plan to the state the way Anne Arundel and Baltimore did. [/quote]

In-person school is an option. On March 20, April 15, and June 18. If you agree in-person is better, then let's use them! Not all kids are in MS or HS. Not all kids can learn without classroom supports and services.[/quote]
