[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can so many other school systems implement virtual learning when there are long-predicted prolonged absences.

Every student has a Chromebook.

Is it ideal? No.

Will there be complete equitable participation? No.

Will it prevent school from going well into the summer? Yes.

I just don’t get it.[/quote]

What? No, every student does not have a Chromebook. Neither of mine does. Do you I
mean that every HS kid has a Chromebook? That is different.[/quote]

HS kids have Chromebooks, MS kids have Chromebooks.  4th and 5th graders have Chromebooks assigned even though they don’t bring them back and forth the way older kids do.

k-3 teachers could send asynchronous assignments to parents for younger kids the way they did during parts of the Covid period.

If central office has planned better, they could have made sure all kids went home with Chromebooks on the Friday before the storm.

This, younger teachers could send home a packet or assign pages in the workbook - email parents about the assignments.  MS and HS can email/put on canvas.  Some of our teachers are.[/quote]

Yes a few of my kids’ MS teachers started to put assignments up today although they were careful to phrase them as voluntary and due a few days after school starts up again in person.  I felt like they knew they were supposed to be “code red” but were trying to be quiet about assignments because they knew their kids are getting so far behind schedule on what they need to cover in the curriculum.

These sound like good teachers.[/quote]

Honestly, with one exception, I’ve been so impressed with all my kids’ MCPS teachers. They have all been very experienced and most seem to care so much about their kids.

But MCPS administration seems to make it very hard for them to do their job well. [/quote]
