[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i don't get the opposition to virtual school for snow days given the alternative is a bunch of half days in late June after exams/APS where it is fully known there is no learning happening.  even if it's not perfect it seems far more likely to result in learning

(and i'm a psychologist and saw a high number of kids who thrived in virtual school-- and plenty who struggled and parents often discovering kids ADHD when watching them learn from home ) [/quote]

That's not the only alternative. We could build a calendar that has enough extra days that we can handle a snow day without either. We could use designated makeup days. That's options that are much easier to implement and more effective than virtual schooling. That's what people opposed to virtual want.[/quote]

That’s ideal but cannot happen this year.  [/quote]

We're ultimately talking about next year. We can't do virtual days this year, either.

There's plenty of time to fix the calendar for next year.[/quote]
--------------------------
The law needs to be changed effective July 1 so it doesn't reward MC not using virtual when they had the chance but only to punish those who need it. Students and teachers should not be punished although the April 15 thing is silly. Just split the grading time into multiple days possibly with a 1 hour early dismissal for students.[/quote]
