[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what an embarrassment. half the counties in the state including baltimore city had plans in place for remote learning--and places like garrett and frederick counties that have far more rural areas were two hour delayed. Really, MCPS?

Most places were and are not doing virtual because they know it doesn't work.

Yes, MCPS could have opened, but Taylor can't manage.[/quote]

Mcps has data on if virtual works but they refuse to release it.  I thought the education was better for one of my kids but it depends on the teacher, like in person and parents.  [/quote]

You can do virtual if you want. You just can't force other people to pay for it.[/quote]

We do pay for one child but why should I pay for your schools and programs if you will not pay for mine?   That’s not equality.  For a variety of reasons, in person is bad or unsafe for some kids.  Clearly you don’t care about all kids, nor even your own, just your needs.  [/quote]

Are you just now learning how taxes work?[/quote]

No, but I’m amazed at how selfish and self abypeople like you are.  You probably pretend to care but here show your true colors.  You don’t care about kids who have serious health issues, bullied, learn better…you’d rather them not go to school or fail to prove your fake points.  [/quote]

There are other programs for kids with serious health issues that's preclude them from coming to school. But there weren't enough kids interested in MVA to make it economical. It was never going to take away enough kids from schools to reduce teachers there, so just ended up being an added cost for 0.5% of students in the district. A state level program always made more sense, but the MVA parents didn't care enough to push for that. Which itself tells you how much value they saw in virtual.[/quote]

Yes, there were enough kids and there was a wait list.  They refused to take in students.  The cost was nothing when you look at the costs for other things.  A state program would not make sense and the state does not provide educational services. Some outsource to a private company but that would cost more than running it themselves.  We did not want the state level so why would we push it.  We wanted the MVA which did a great job.  You are the only one pushing the state when you have zero experience with a good virtual program.

Many kids are failing in person.  Let’s talk about in person reading and math scores?   Why are they so low if in person is so effective?   Why have scores declined in the last 20 years?

[b]A week of virtual is better than a week of nothing.  We appreciate the teachers sending out assignments to keep on track.  [/quote][/b]

Agree. Why can’t MCPS just send out reading assignments and worksheets for completion online or printed?  Everyone has email.  [/quote]

They can. Our teachers sent out some things like that. Sending out optional work to reinforce previously taught topics is fine. Good even. But they shouldn't try to cover new material when so many kids wouldn't be able to access it.[/quote]
