We were playing our morning backgammon game, heard the explosion, the house shook, and I went out and walked around the house because it felt that close. Oh dang you were that close??

PhineasC Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Wonder when school districts will start trying to restrict homeschooling in the name of "fairness" for all students (i.e., all students must be at the same level of dumb at all times)? https://thefederalist.com/2020/08/11/fairfax-public-schools-tell-parents-to-stop-educating-their-kids-while-school-is-banned/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The children in homes who either 1) can’t afford tutors/etc or 2) have parents who can’t work from home or 3) aren’t in stable homes where parents give a F about education are the real losers of these 100% virtual decisions. It seems FCPS spends more time writing letters/memos to parents than actually coming up with solutions that work for students... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in, hybrid, all online ( what a brilliant idea) . But here in Md it's ( It can't be done) . I guess the virus magically is not as bad once at the Pa state line . They figured out a way and logistics. There meetings were probably mostly talked about with how Can,Can,Can it work and not how it Can't, Can't, Can't work. You have to start somewhere imo . As a parent I watched the BOE meeting on the decision for FCPS. While there was a vote for all online learning, there are teachers who are volunteering to come into the buildings for very small face to face sessions. And from what I understand that is what most MD systems are doing. Special Ed, ELL, those without reliable internet and at risk youth will have the opportunity for in school time. Just had a questioner from my girls HS this week where one of the questions was asking if your child was considered for in school time if you felt comfortable with that. These are the behind the scenes decisions that are taking place. They are also going to have the buildings open as some teachers have asked to teach out of their classrooms. No one decision is a good one. But they are working as hard as they can to accommodate every student and option. One other interesting thing I learned from our BOE meeting was out of a district with 42,000 students the number of students who did not log in this past spring for various reasons was around 800. They have said they are working to identify those students and find out why they could not or chose not to log in. And if need be those students would be added to the list of small groups to bring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only takeaway from the Superintendent's note was that they aren't going to juggle their classroom assignments due to parents wanting pods. Leave it to the Federalist to blow it out of proportion.
