[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The concern is that the pandemic isn't over and schools are planning with this in mind. They aren't likely to take a risk on a kid who can can't or won't learn virtually when there may be more virtual learning to come.  if they have 10 applicants per spot, why take the one who can only learn in person? it's a hard situation because it's not an isolated event that caused the low grades--it's an ongoing possibility.

I agree but public virtual was particularly mind-numbing, and getting lost in Zoom classes of 35 students might not be a perfect predictor of how a student would do with virtual learning in a private.  Schools have to work with a lot of unknowns this year.[/quote]

These kids would get lost in person too.  If you turned your camera on and participated given few did, you'd get a lot of attention like mine.  They had very few assignments, no real homework.  They spent a lot of class time for make up work kids refused to do.  You can redo assignments if you get things wrong (though I like this to fix the mistakes).  They don't even read full books anymore.  I don't get how you get anything lower than a B, let alone an A at least in MS where classes are pretty basic (in high school I can get it).[/quote]
