[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this so triggering for some people?

If virtual school wouldn't be a good fit for your family, don't worry about it!

I wouldn't choose it and would never want to go back to teaching young kids online (I'm a teacher), but other people can make different choices and that's okay.

At some point it will come down to budgeting priorities so yeah, I have an interest in how MCPS spends limited resources. Until then I really don’t care.[/quote]

Virtual would cost MCPS less, not more, so if you are concerned about how money is spent, you should push for VA.[/quote]

Virtual school would be cheaper if you got rid of regular schools, but that’s obviously not going to happen. The schools themselves, and the support infrastructure/staff to operate them, are sunk costs. Whether it saves MCPS money to have kids in virtual school will ultimately depend on staffing ratios. But as students drop out of VA, per pupil staffing costs will increase.[/quote]
