[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is doing the MC program where you get a AA degree + HS degree (Northwood HS). I wish someone would tell Montgomery College that virtual learning is useless. They make the kids take some summer/winter classes that are completely asynchronous (just a bunch of videos and no live teacher). I think it’s ridiculous and my kid got put in an advanced calculus class that was accelerated and completely video based. It was horrible and he passed but really didn’t learn much. That being said, I think virtual learning works when it is temporary and for a few days. Bad idea when it constitutes the entire course [/quote]

If it useless to have video based classes, then why wouldn't you rather see real school days? What an odd comment.[/quote]

Seems like you don’t know how to read. She said a few days of teacher- lead virtual instruction is fine and what virtual learning is good for but an entire semester of asynchronous learning (no teacher) is bad especially for college level courses. Some of you parents are such dummies so perhaps the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree [/quote]

If virtual can't consistently be done in a useful way [b]even when you're limiting it to a course that was intended to online, taught by someone who planned for online lessons, and attended by students who opted-in to the online class[/b], then 
there's simply no way forcing unmotivated teachers and students into it at the last-minute is going to go well.

This is not a good option. If it were the [b]only[/b] option, that would be one thing, but it clearly isn't.  We should hold real make-up days. We have them in the calendar.[/quote]

Then you get rid of those teachers as they are probably bad in person and fail the kids who don’t attend and do the work. [/quote]
