No way MCPS will give us full day. MCPS needs to fulfill its mission of serving lunch. Remember, MCPS is more interested in serving lunch than serving education to your kids.


This is why the time for DL will be the same this year as last Spring.



Very doubtful. Even the summer program is everyday for 3 hours which is considerably more than last Spring.

Help teachers push for the full day. Wrote the BOE. Unified, teachers and parents can get the instructional time we know is most effective.

Because indoor spaces with poor ventialation aren't safe.

The older ones often have a lot of coursework outside of class.


No they didn’t. And no they won’t. Grades will be optional again.


Grades will not be optional.

So a family of 5 kids will need 5 devices? Not including any parents working. Come on now.
