Oh please! Online education has been a thing for some time now. It just hasn't been as widespread or popular in the K12 market as it is in college, but it's been in existence and the families and teachers have been just fine.

Frankly, knowing teachers and accepting their authority/leadership is much LESS of an issue with DL. Everyone's there to learn and do their damn work. There's little room for the "Mr. X does like me! Mrs. Y is so mean!"

We'll see. Online education is an educational platform in and of itself. It's not simply a delivery vehicle, which we've seen during this pilot period. When expectations ramp up in Fall, both catching kids up and trying to move them forward in a gradable format, I suspect it's going to be a spectacular failure. I suspect FCPS leadership also knows this. Otherwise, they'd just call for DL right now instead of delaying the decision to July and looking to the Governor for guidance ('air cover'). [/quote]

The students who will need to have their hands held and be caught up in DL would have the same struggles in person.

The kids who would do well in the physical classroom in terms of keeping up will do well with DL.

No, it will worsen problems, not solve them.  Most people know this.[/quote]
