[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My principal told us Monday that MCPS was going to require live, synchronous zoom classes on snow days. He said to pay attention to weather forecasts and remind students to take devices home. He also said there will be a color code similar to Howard County on snow days to differentiate when schools are closed in person but open online or when teachers have to report to the building but students do not. I didn’t get to ask what I’m supposed to do with my own children if I Mayo see to work from school but they aren’t in school in person. Or how I’m supposed to be stuck on zoom with a 7 year old running around. I refuse to teach on zoom for a snow day. I will post asynchronous homework. Children deserve to have snow days. This will continue to drive parents away from MCPS to private schools. [/quote]

I didn’t see any codes that required teachers to report to do instruction when students stayed home. Also, your 7 year old is old enough to sit just like they would at school. His teacher would build breaks into her Zoom class. [/quote]

I didn’t see that code either. I was just sharing what my principal told all faculty at our Monday meeting prior to the community announcement. And no, my 7 yo is not going to sit all day at a computer. They don’t do that in real life, even when medicated. Home is full of all kinds of distractions that are very different than a school environment. At best, my 7yo will sit and listen for 30 minutes and then turn off the device. [/quote]
