[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big problem isn't going to be rich people going private, it's going to be trying to juggle the kids who stay in public who have been learning well for the past year with those who have tuned out and are being left behind.

Which is why I think there will be some level of exodus. The gap will widen, and it is unrealistic to expert teachers to fix the problem. [/quote]

I think we'll just see more tracking, whether it's an official policy or a de facto implementation. You can already see it happening in my kid's virtual K. [/quote]
and a push for kids who fell behid to go to summer school.

In MCPS alone there are 160K students. There is no way all of the  UMC/MC families can find spots in private schools. Not gonna happen.  There will not be a "mass exodus". My one kid is in a magnet, and another is not.  Out of all their friends, I only know of one person (not UMC) who moved out of state, and the rest have stayed in MCPS.

Even if we are in hybrid mode in the fall, there isn't enough space in privates for all the MC/UMC families.  Most people will stay put and ride it out.

So if OP means 1% to 2% of the student body = mass exodus, then I guess there's a mass exodus.   But OP would have a very different definition of "mass" than most people do.
