[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If MCPS went forward with on-line instruction for say a month — in this example assume a 7th grade math reacher posts the lectures she  would normally give, teachers are available to try to answer questions, and they figure out a way to give a test of the material.  What should MCPS do when they re-open the schools?  Not all students will have been able to participate in the on-line learning.  So should the same material be taught again in the classroom?

Students that transfer from other school districts or countries get evaluated at the beginning of the year. We may have to do that for everyone next year. Students that are prepared, perhaps because they studied over the summer or continued with instruction somehow should NOT be penalized simply because others did not; those who can move forward should, and those who cannot move forward should not; they should be placed in the appropriate class no matter what. Whatever is done, it will be unfair to some; as a society I want the decision that is best for SOCIETY, not necessarily what is best for each and every individual. Society will be better off with at least SOME students continuing to learn NOW, rather than enacting a policy where NO STUDENT learns. Fair to all? No. Best for society? Most certainly.[/quote]
