[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is claiming they can't do a virtual plan because not every school is a 1:1 device school. I don't know if that's true, but that's what they're claiming.[/quote]

Virtual learning is not a solution for elementary, in part because we know that 1:1 devices that go home aren't healthy for elementary schoolers, and in part because many kids that age spend their snow days at day camps, or with not-tech savvy grandparents, or at home loosely supervised while adults are working virtually.

The school system should allow (but not require) middle school and high school teachers to continue to give assignments, if they feel it's appropriate for the pacing of their classes, particularly AP and IB.  Students should have some flexibility on when they submit those assignments in case they have snow day responsibilities like childcare for younger siblings.

Homework done under this system should not be counted as days in school, and schools should continue to have to make up days when they are closed.  [/quote]
