[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again, it's IIS Interim Instructional Services.  [/quote]

That is not even close to being a proper education. IIS only has the core courses that meet for 1.5 hours a week each.  That’s 6 hours a week. It’s for extremely fragile children that just need to keep a line of learning open. No homework; no tests; no quizzes; no real work.  The VA is a tremendous benefit to those who can handle a full course load but may need the flexibility of being at home for a variety of reasons. Many kids are thriving there. Don’t throw “data” back. A child’s needs go deeper than a number. No one is harmed by it being open. It’s just one more program in MCPS; it’s just controversial because some people choose not to keep an open mind. [/quote]

If your kids are well enough to handle a full courseload, then why aren't they in school?[/quote]

Ok?   They are in school. [/quote]

No, they're not. Why are you afraid to let them leave your sight? You must know how suspicious that looks.[/quote]

What makes you think that?[/quote]

You don't think it's strange and suspicious when parents don't let their kids go to school? You don't seem to read the news very much.[/quote]

They are going to school.  Don't you think it's strange you are so upset over MCPS having a virtual school.  You want your families needs met but yet, you don't consider someone else's needs may be different than yours.[/quote]

The real mystery here is why you're not more concerned about meeting your children's needs. Why are you so afraid of letting them go to school? You know they're going to move out of your house at some point, don't you?[/quote]

What on earth are you talking about?  Kids can thrive in virtual.  Not all kids thrive in person.  How do you not get that?   There are more opportunities for kids to socialize outside of school or are you against activities too?[/quote]

Do you let your kids do those activities? Or only if you're able to supervise them at all times?[/quote]

Why do you care?   Why are you so obsessed?   You house what’s best for your kids and we will choose what’s best for ours.  I’m sorry you’d rather spend your time here vs support your kids.  [/quote]
