[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

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 nett[/quote]

So someone might learn something. Maybe.

What high standards you have.[/quote]

Yes, I think virtual "many or most kids will probably learn something" days are superior to "no kids will learn anything" days.  You prefer the "no kids will learn anything" days?[/quote]

You're overly optimistic. The statement is more accurately written as "some kids might learn something."

Also, some subjects done virtually are pointless. Like PE.[/quote]
