[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, I don't think anyone (except) one troll is suggesting teachers not be paid.

What people ARE suggesting is that they work, which would mean making an uncomfortable and possibly clumsy transition to online learning. That is still better than the alternative. [/quote]

We WANT to work, but we need to be trained in how to teach online. It’s not as simple as Zoom on your laptop in your living room. We also need to get computers to teachers who also have children at home but only one device. And figure out how to manage childcare for teachers whose children are too young to not interrupt.[/quote]

This is where MCPS needs to show some leadership. We have a week and a half left in which MCPS could be training teachers and distributing Chromebooks (maybe at the same locations currently hosting free food pickup). [/quote]

Other teachers at other jurisdictions are finding ways to figure it out.  If MCPS could buy the program to do the online review they can buy a program to do it.  There are many or you can just do Skype, FaceTime or the many other there depending on the computers available.   At least make the upcoming curriculum available and allow kids to be able to email teachers for help.  Or, send a list of what is needed to learn, especially for the elementary and middle school kids.  I am concerned about math, the other stuff not so much.[/quote]
