Does this really meet the state’s standards for a school day? Seems very questionable to claim it as a day of learning. Just give back snow days and stop with this foolishness, ACPS!

LOL at you. Talk about laying the blame on the symptom instead of going directly to the root cause. So it is ACPS's fault that cable is out? Instead of being mad at the school system why don't you go after that idiot Wilson and his corrupt cronies who allow the Comcast/Xfinity monopoly to exist in Alexandria. If those fools with their hands in other peoples' pockets would allow other internet service providers then we wouldn't have this problem. The internet monopoly by Comcast is the problem and the problem was created by Wilson.

How do you know what everyone else wants? My kid actually did well in virtual school with zooms. Less distraction from classmates and the environment. Luckily most of his teachers assigned minimal work, but he had a full hour of asynchronous math, and another of spanish.


Sounds autistic.

Cool, sounds ableist and like you are a jerk.

x1000 Our kids also did great on DL last year and then again today. The kids who misbehave and distract the teachers attention don't go to class on zoom so it is more time for my kids and kids like them who like to learn and who do their work. It was light work but they started new material in every class today. My kids aren't autistic and even if they were it wouldn't mean I am not proud of them. DP.

I still can’t believe they did this.


It is understandable to have the buildings closed, it is fine to have virtual, but why can't the kids (especially middle and high school) be taught via zoom, like last year? I hate asynchronous work with a passion. My child has ADHD, and while he can concentrate in class, he can't handle what essentially amount to five hour straight of homework.



Nobody wants to be stuck on Zoom. They should just give the kids their snow day and extend winter break by a day. Nobody is going to get anything of educational value out of whatever is offered virtually today.
