[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few reasons:

[b]State doesn’t allow virtual days to count as part of the minimum 180 day requirement.[/b]

Only HS students have individual chromebooks. Most MS and ES schools have Chromebooks on carts and cannot be taken home.  The software is not set up for it.

Something, something equity.[/quote]

It does if school districts submit a virtual learning plan in advance, but MCPS opted not to submit one for this year.[/quote]

I can’t understand why they didn’t. It just does not make any sense to me that when a viable back up plan is available why it would not be utilized.

Is this a decision the superintendent, board of Education, or teachers union make?[/quote]

It's not that complicated. We all know virtual doesn't work well for many students and families. And teachers don't have lesson plans for it.[/quote]

News flash - teachers just minimally adapt their stuff for virtual. Especially when it is just for a few days. Heck, ChatGPT will modify your plans for you in seconds. Teachers are not recreating everything from scratch. Ask me how I know [/quote]

Thanks for demonstrating why virtual lessons would be awful.[/quote]
