[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why people think that distance learning this fall will be the same as distance learning last spring. In the spring, there was zero time to plan for DL, and the districts and teachers did the best they could. I expect a lot more learning in my kids’ distance learning this fall because 1) there is more time to prepare and 2) they have this spring’s experience to learn from. [/quote]

While it’s true that teachers learned from the spring and will have more tricks up their sleeve for fall, they do not get paid for summer work and are likely to do only so much to prepare to do better for fall, especially since they don’t know what exactly they’re supposed to be preparing for. The district isn’t giving them much to go on. Also, the district isn’t making it easier by changing up the tech and putting restrictions on how much synchronous teaching time they can offer. So I wouldn’t hang your hopes on summer prep, in a nutshell.[/quote]

I 100% agree with these two posters. MCPS is not good at planning and rolling things out.  Going back decades:  curriculum 2.0, the new ES grading system, edline to parent portal, change to CES centers.

They have not had much time to plan, a few weeks in the summer,awith reduced budgets, and while teachers can take classes about on line education, what is shoveled out to HS students came from central office and was not good.  It won't be good in Fall either.[/quote]

Maybe parents should hire tutors, seriously, to teach their kids a few hours a day. Or hire seniors to teach younger grades. Because the rest of this is laughable. No one is learning a thing. And I have three kids, so sadly I know this is true.
