[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything the above poster said is true. Especially for HS students, AP's are long done and by adding those days onto June, nothing is accomplished...I hate to say that virutal may be the way to go in the future. I get "let kids have a snow day", but when extended or prolonged, virtual may be the only way to go.[/quote]

My NY friend says that for this snow storm, the first day was a snow day, and then every student was expected to be online the second day (except for really little kids maybe).  They just used the virtual learning set up they have from COVID and kids are expected to have their school laptops at home.

For a school district that is so dependent on Chromebooks, I'm surprised there's been no talk about using them...even if the elementary school younger years don't have them.[/quote]

They broke the Chromebooks and we don’t have the money to replace them.

Parents argued they were so addictive and dangerous that we shouldn’t use them every day.

Funny.  My kid and all his classmates have their Chromebooks at home.  My kid even broke out IXL today without any in asking him to do so, and worked on math. This is a lot of wasted time that McPS should have planned to use more intelligently like other school districts did.  It’s not like this snowstorm was unexpected.  [/quote]
