It is boring, difficult to follow and doesn’t remotely come close to teaching in a way that builds a desire to learn.  I don’t know what other options the county has, but I’m disappointed to see this as an option for people who choose to keep their kids home.

- repeat lessons for students attending on different days
- assign practice for home (no new material)
- cut normal school year time in half

Or this...
- continue progression everyday
- students exptected to learn new material when they aren't in school, through virtual lesson
- most likely have to "reteach" concepts that students didn't learn in the physical classroom
