[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would support distance learning during extended closure. Like if conditions are truly dangerous and school needs to be closed for more than a week, they could offer some kind of instruction. For ES, they could mail packets home. I would support using this to reduce makeup days by up to 2 days per week of closure (after one week)[/quote]

Mail?

I just got mail delivered for the first time in a week yesterday.

Meanwhile, someone has to be able to get to work to 
1) print each teacher’s packets.
2) copy all of those packets.
3) stuff envelopes
4) address the envelopes.
and 5) drop all of the envelopes off at the post office. [/quote]

I think the idea is stupid, but presumably the pp meant email.[/quote]

Which is even crazier because I'd imagine like 60% of the county doesn't have a printer in their home.  And I'm not just talking the FARMS kids.  I make 6 figures and have not owned a home printer in over a decade.  No need to have one when I can print everything at the office.[/quote]

You can clearly get online no problem so they can do the work online or buy a printer.  [/quote]

No one requires printed materials for a few days, except the K-3 who don’t have 1:1 Chromebooks.  Everyone else is fine.

And if the MCPs Central Office had heeded the warning about the big storm that everyone was predicting, they could have had Elementary schools send home packets with the youngest learners.  They just suck at planning and prefer to complain that conditions are bad and they can’t do anything. [/quote]

Not all secondary schools in MCPS remained 1:1.[/quote]
