Sure “MCPS parent” - why are you even here?

because I saw "MCPS" on the subject thread and clicked on it. I'm not a lookey loo in any particular forums. I just read the Recent Forums.

are you going to pay for a whole year of private and not use it?

What does 45 day notice mean?

Wrong! Word on the street is they are all going back in person before Thanksgiving. Maybe the budget issues made MCPS wake up and realize they need to get on the ball. Either way there are going to be a lot of private school parents withdrawing especially for those schools who pulled the old switcheroo and pretended they were going in person and then switched to DL at the last minute. A mass exodus is coming.

It will only be fore some esol and sped children. And probably very limited (1 -2 days/ wk). Everyone else will be lucky to get a couple days in the spring.. this post sounds trollish or just not a smart op.

Here's what's gonna happen:

In about 45 days, kids with special needs and ELL students and perhaps very young students like Kindergarteners will be allowed to go back hybrid. 6th and 9th graders may get to go in in small groups once or twice to do a face to face activity and see their school.

Elementary kids could get to go back in for a little bit before February, maaaaaaaybe.

MS and HS won't be called back in until February at a minimum, because their age puts them at minimally greater risk and their social behaviors and independence make them less able to be controlled, and they behave in a riskier way.

Sometime in Spring 2021, or probably February, all students will be offered the option to do hybrid (something like 2 days per week, with the other two synchronous....or if we're really unlucky, asynchronous). At that point, about half the student population will return, and the other half will stay virtual through most of the year or all of the year. There will be more battles about an inequity shift where virtual students suffer and in-person students consume the most resources.

50/50 that the hybrid/in-person model will never happen this year due to Americans being f*c*(#&$& idiots and not wearing masks during socializing indoors in the winter, or that the schools open but have to close again and we're back to square one.

In no scenario do all students go back 100% this academic year.

Then it'll be long enough doing this that the academic week will substantially transform due to people getting used to virtual and some liking it, and/or we'll lose teachers, and/or budgets will be so severely cut they'll want some people to stay home. There will be a push for more virtual options or perhaps 4-day school weeks.

Mark. My. Words.

(FWIW, I don't foresee it being smart to go back any time soon, with the exception of students with exceptional need.)

People keep trotting out this dumb theory but where will people get the flu? No one is traveling and everyone who is not traveling is wearing masks. Keep paying for that expensive a$$ DL y’all. The private schools are about to get scooped by MCPS. Who’d have thunk it??

You’re too much.

My shiny new private school refused to open until November for hybrid (for no good reason) but now that MCPS will probably open in some capacity by November, we’re going to return to MCPS. To our HOS - thanks for an expensive 8 weeks of DL. You should have just opened like you SAID you would so your school would have at least been a better option than the publics.
