[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is, the virtual learning would just be "check the box, we did it" like the days at the end of the school calendar. It would put an extra burden on teachers and parents (and even more on the many teachers who are parents), extra expense for more devices for MCPS, and it would make 99% of the kids miserable and not really amount to any additional learning. So why?[/quote]

Oh come on.  Just because most kids don't learn as much virtually as they do in person doesn't mean no one is learning anything.  Most kids learn some stuff, and some learn just as much as they would in person.  Even many kindergarteners can learn a decent amount virtually, let alone middle and high schoolers.

That is clearly better than pushing the calendar in June into half days in the following week, which is truly zero learning.  Most kids don't even go and there is absolutely no educational activity going on for the ones who do come because everything got wrapped up the week before or even earlier.

It is also clearly better than getting an MSDE waiver for the days, which is very literally zero learning. [/quote]
