To be fair, a lot of parents said they would not their children online for 4 hours of synchronous learning, so that's why asynchronous was chosen. Of course, it's pretty dubious to say that doing a paper packet or a few things on a choice board is the same thing as attending school all day
MCPS needs to grow up and stop basing its decisions on the whiniest parents. They are required to deliver a specified number of days, they should do so in person since we all know online does not work well for most students.
You're misremembering. The asynchronous day was the result of illegal negotiations with MCEA.
How was it illegal?

You mean kids and teachers will actually need to go to school on a school day? Shocking.

Right. They should have used one of the make-up days for a school day, as they were intended.
