[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think MD should create a virtual academy for the entire state. [/quote]

I agree with this.  I have no issue with a virtual academy in principle.  I can easily accept that different kids have different needs and excel in different environments.  But it seems it would be much more cost effective and offer more educational opportunities to student if this was administered on a larger, statewide scale.[/quote]

+1,  should be a statewide program[/quote]

Exactly. If virtual programs were properly limited to only students who legitimately could not attend school in-person, attempting to operate them at a district level would never work.

Even with MCPS's free-for-all approach we only had 10 kids in some elementary school classes.[/quote]

Parents should decide.  Mot strangers who know nothing about the kids.  [/quote]

This isn't how public education works. If you want a handpicked educational program, you can pay for it. This kind of entitlement is part of the reason MVA parents could never convince the public to support their program.[/quote]

Actually it is given the lottery and magnet programs we have.  By your logic ewe should cut them all.

Why do you care?  Each child gets funding.  MCPS lost a lot of funding with students leaving.[/quote]
