[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]

NYC and baltimore county both have virtual school this week-- why is it an equity issue here and not those places?  both still allow for plenty of play in the snow time [/quote]

Hundreds of schools have had virtual school this week, NYC had it Monday the day after the storm, and had kids back in classrooms on Tuesday.  
Anne Arundel has also done virtual learning this week.
Even Oklahoma has managed to do virtual school this week.  
MCPS is just lazy. [/quote]
Virtual is the lazy path. Everyone knows those virtual days are worthless. Schools only do them because they're easier and cheaper than adding real days. That's not a good reason.[/quote]

Who is everyone?  Universities, community colleges, NYC, Anne Arundel schools, Baltimore schools, lots of Virginia schools including Alexandria did virtual learning this week. My kid has had some great virtual learning instruction.

So no,  “everyone” does NOT think these days are worthless and think it’s better to add three half days in end June and tell kids not to come to school because no real instruction is going on. [/quote]

Yeah but everyone who cared enough about the subject made sure to tell the county that virtual learning on snow days was a bad idea when the county specifically asked for community input.  Maybe you should have compaigned a bit harder to counteract that decision[/quote]

Where are the data that show that parents preferred to have schools closed for an entire week rather than have virtual learning? Hint: you won’t find any.  [/quote]

No one asked that question explicitly but in 2021, DCUM bellowed that virtual was worse than nothing. [/quote]
