[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is the in-person only crowd absolutely refuses to see how virtual can benefit some students. Not all students (aka their students), but guess what? In person doesn’t work for all students either. In-person only crowd only considers their children’s needs, so they bash anyone who thinks differently. It’s juvenile and immature, but they want to continue to be selfish. If they spent a second in classrooms across the US right now, they’d see the complete disaster current classroom conditions are. They’d still refuse to listen to any alternatives though because they are stuck on an ideal from when they were kids. The world is changing….. not all students learn in the same environments…time to grow up. [/quote]

Virtual is simply on balance an inferior form of education even for those kids who can technically get by. Public school districts have zero obligation to offer a learning model that is expensive and has poor results. It only makes sense for kids who actually cannot go to school.[/quote]

Thanks for your opinion.  However, not all kids are happy or want to go to in person.  Sometimes the family over personal situation doesn't allow it.  Some kids do better virtual.  Why do you care if its offered?[/quote]

DP.  I don't think it's a good use of resources at the MCPS level for the numerous reasons already discussed, but I also don't care enough to make my opinion known to MCPS.  Seems to be it would be more efficient to offer such a program at the state level like other states do (especially if you're concerned about declining course offerings) and focus on secondary education.  But good luck to you.[/quote]
