[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lack of notification by MCPS and Dr. McKnight was an effort to push their agenda for more half days and closures without public scrutiny and consideration by the Board. Luckily half the Board objected.

Parents DO NOT support more half days and closures. Students need instructional time to make up for the reduced instructional time during online learning. Many students, particularly students with disabilities, had regression and lost the momentum of progress they had before online learning.

I am not understanding why Central Office keeps putting forward plans for staff to work less. I sure hope Dr. McKnight doesn’t permanently become Superintendent if this is her idea of how to run a school system. OP is right - MCPS and the Board is a mess. [/quote]

Three half days isn't going to impact instructional time. They need to use the time they have in school more wisely.  Most kids who had issues leaning online didn't participate or even log on or do the work nor had involved parents monitoring things.  So, MCPS slowed down the curriculum and punished the kids participating vs. failing those kids who didn't do the work.[/quote]

Equity, but not excellence. Why can't we have both? Our kids and our society deserve both.  [/quote]
