During the first marking period many Vicksburg Virtual teachers made a drastic change in schedule and in most cases doubled their class sizes lumping all students in the district per grade into one virtual classroom. This has put a strain on students and their parents who work from home. Many elementary students and parents were presented with an AM / PM schedule at the beginning of the school year with no more than 3 synchronized hours of teaching four days a week. This schedule has changed to mimic the brick and mortar classrooms and is now a 9 am - 3:30 pm schedule Monday through Friday. Sign this petition if you believe the virtual classrooms should be reduced in student numbers to allow for more individualized learning and with less synchronized hours per week returning the the AM / PM schedule as the district started this school year.
