[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with offering a remote option from DCPS?  How's does that harm you in any way?  Go in-person if that's what you want.[/quote]

[b]It’s an issue of resources.  The way DCPS is offering remote is by each school making a plan.[/b]  That is incredibly ineffective and a waste of manpower.  There are also issues around who would choose virtual school and those kids missing two and a half years of education, but that is a lot to explain on an anonymous forum.[/quote]

Yes, this is the problem.  If central office offered one virtual academy that would be great.  But as usual they are putting it on individual schools... which means potentially each school would need a teacher in each grade to work with the very small handful of kids who actually qualify for the remote learning.  Of course, they could do simulcast, but that makes it much harder on the teacher and makes the quality of instruction lower for the in person and virtual kids.  [/quote]

But this “virtual school” is exactly what they are doing for kids with a medical need. The in person waiver form says that kids may not be taught by the teachers at the child’s school. So why not extend that option beyond kids with medical needs? [/quote]

The fact that they say “may not” means they have no plan and will probably end up foisting the responsibility on individual schools, just like they did with reopening. [/quote]
