[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not even going to say anything... I will just post the MCPS email I received from my kid's elementary school yesterday at 9:00PM!

"We apologize for the late email, but we just received some important information about the regional quarantine instructional program. The zoom capacity has been reached for each grade level and the program is making changes for the remainder of the week. Please see below.

If you have a student accessing regional quarantine instruction for tomorrow, please note that the anticipated enrollment exceeds the current capacity of our Zooms.  We will be adjusting the model to accommodate an unlimited number of students starting next week, but for tomorrow and Friday, please note the following changes.

Math:  Instructors will break the 9:45-10:45 session into two parts.  If you try to log in at 9:45 and cannot access the Zoom, the limit has been reached.  Please try to log in to the 2nd session at 10:20 am.

Literacy:  Instructors will break the 11:00-12:15 session into two parts.  If you try and log in at 11:00 am and cannot access the Zoom, please try again at 11:35 am.

We do apologize for the disruption this will create for your families, as we look for flexible ways to support all of the families who want to access quarantine instruction while unable to attend school due to COVID safety protocols.[/quote]

Why are some schools doing a centralized Virtual Program and others are doing virtual school just within the school?  My first-grade son is home on quarantine since testing positive with the take-home tests on Monday and his first-grade teacher sent him a link for him to join for virtual reading and math instruction along with the schedule of times of the classes.  He joined yesterday and today and it is only a few other kids from the first grade with a first-grade teacher who said they take turns each day teaching math and reading virtual class.  He is working on the same exact things he would be in class and since it was only 5 other kids in the zoom class he had a lot of direct teacher interaction.    He would prefer to be in person with his friends but at least he is still able to keep up with the same curriculum he would be in class.  [/quote]
