Which is why the PP from many pages back who suggested a full F2F option and a full DL option was right.

You may feel comfortable with DL until the 22-23 school year.  Many others do not.  And your preference should not be given more weight than mine.

Really, the BOE needs to do another survey.  But not a "how do you think its going" survey.

A very specific one.  What school do you attend?  Will you return?  Can you provide your own transportation?  Can you provide your own masks?  Have your children agreed to comply with the safety measures?  Do you acknowledge that violation of the safety measures may mean you are switched to DL?  Etc, etc.[/quote]

That's not a survey. MCPS would need to try to do a census to count each student in MCPS.

Also, MCPS/BoE does not make decisions by majority vote of the parents, nor should they.

(I'm going to conclude that anybody who thinks "parents should just drive their kids!" is a viable alternative, has never been anywhere near a school during drop-off or pick-up. It's hazardous chaos even during normal times when most kids who arrive by motor vehicle arrive by school bus. If you want more kids to walk, then you can't have more parents driving. If you want more parents driving, then it's just not going to happen for more kids to walk.)[/quote]

Sure.  You raise valid criticisms.

But the time of "this is too difficult to solve.  lets give up" has passed.

We are doing more damage to our kids by keeping them home.  So instead of saying "this is too complicated" we need to have ideas.  [/quote]

Fabulous. SUGGEST THEM. ADVOCATE FOR THEM IN REAL LIFE. Instead of just indulging in this forum's favorite hobby of complaining about MCPS for anything and everything.[/quote]

That's the advice I gave my kid before he testified at the B of E: don't just complain. Offer a plan.[/quote]

Off-topic, I am the PP that [b]shared my plan and have testified at the last 6 board meetings[/b].

I am always so impressed with the students that submit testimony and advocate on behalf of themselves and their peers.  Especially the students that are brave enough to call out mistakes or bad behavior by the teachers (like the student that testified his teachers were skipping office hours, leaving him with open questions on his assignments).

As a teenager, I'm not sure I would have had the courage or conviction to testify to a government body.  I admire your child's conviction and courage at such a young age.

Good work :)[/quote]

As Einstein probably didn't say, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."  Perhaps you need to propose a new plan!  :D [/quote]
