[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i don't get the opposition to virtual school for snow days given the alternative is a bunch of half days in late June after exams/APS where it is fully known there is no learning happening.  even if it's not perfect it seems far more likely to result in learning

(and i'm a psychologist and saw a high number of kids who thrived in virtual school-- and plenty who struggled and parents often discovering kids ADHD when watching them learn from home ) [/quote]

That's not the only alternative. We could build a calendar that has enough extra days that we can handle a snow day without either. We could use designated makeup days. That's options that are much easier to implement and more effective than virtual schooling. That's what people opposed to virtual want.[/quote]

I would want to use the designated make up days first. But I’d prefer the option of a virtual day here or there rather than create a school calendar with 185 days “just in case” and then we give up a week of summer in August to be ready for snow that may not materialize. [/quote]
