It's bizarre and wrong that teachers can cut to the front of the line for vaccinations, before lots of people with more pressing need, and still keep schools closed.

Oh shut up. You’re just mad that for once whites women aren’t winning as a whole. Your kid has online school if they don’t have IPL. Tough nuggets. I’m sure the fall will be better, 1.5 years is enough. Teachers as a whole won.

The last laugh will be on teachers because a lot of parents are leaving DCPS because they are sick of WTU's antics. That means funding cuts, and that means layoffs (not to mention pay freezes) are coming for teachers.

You keep saying that. Based on the waitlist numbers released that isn’t true. I know you are really wishing this happens, but it’s not

How are you getting that the waitlist numbers suggest that people aren't leaving? Applications and seats are both down (applications by 20%, seats by 6.5%). Those seem to suggest a marked decline in interest in enrolling in DC schools. But I'm interesting in understanding what you are seeing in the waitlist data.

NP. But I think you need to wait until the Charter Board releases their data.

And to be honest all of this is just guessing and projecting. We need to see who shows up at their inbound school and actual enrollment numbers before declaring “no one wants to attend DC schools”.

Yeah, but we won't see any official DCPS-wide enrollment numbers until something like Jan., 2022.

No one said that "no on wants to attend DC schools." A PP did argue that there won't be a decline in enrollment in DCPS. The stats we have suggest there will be, the question will just be how large it is.

At any rate, the decline in seats suggests that DCPS is planning to have fewer kids this year. Since the 2% decline in enrollment between 2019/20 and 2020/21 actually caused budget concerns, I would expect a 6.5% decline to also lead to budget shortfalls (and perhaps teacher layoffs).

Also, it is kind of remarkable to have a 20% decline in the number of kids applying, no? That's suggestive of something.

There’s definitely less interest. Note the lack of much discussion of lottery on this board! Also in my neighborhood lists etc.

I think charter interest will show to be way down too.

As of April 5, Burbio says 64 percent of elementary school students nationwide are going to school five days a week. 50 percent of middle schools are back five days a week and 47 percent of high school students are back in the classroom full time.

You know 64% is a D right? It’s not even 90% meaning DC isn’t an anomaly.
You’ll get school in the Fall if you don’t have it now. Sorry.

Friend, your reasoning skills are not good. Basically the only kids are back to school full time are private school kids, so the share of children in DC at school five days per week is probably less than three percent.

This is exactly why I asked this question.

Sounds so far like a small percentage of schools and kids in them are 4-5 days per week, and only those in upper NW, the richest whitest schools that are the most similar to private schools.

To me this is a big failure of the city. Still hoping somehow to convince our hybrid school to go full time, they are refusing but have no reason.

An anon list mostly of rich white ward 3 moms (argue away but the owner said it’s true) is no picture of the city

My school is back and we aren’t listed here.

Uh ok PLEASE LIST YOUR SCHOOL. I’m starting to think this is one troll, who is lying, because why wouldn’t someone name their school and whether they’re open???

Yeah, the secrecy is bizarre. Is she worried Ward 3 moms are going to try to enroll their kids? Or other undesirable nice white parents?

Well Boswer just announced an increase in the per pupil spending amount. So I guess we will see how this plays out

SWS plans to bring ECE back in term 4. Kids will either attend Monday & Tuesday 9-12:30 or Thursday & Friday 9-12:30. They're behind most DCPS Capitol Hill schools to return ECE kids and now with a plan for only 2 days a week for 3 hours per day. Ridiculous.

DC actually lost more residents last year that almost any other city. Only New York City, San Francisco and a few others lost more. There's a lag in the data so it takes awhile for the numbers to come in. But the decline is only accelerate the longer DC becomes this weird island in the United States where full time public education of children is not offered.

We don't quite have the full picture, but the lottery application data suggests a huge drop in applications to DCPS. Last year there were 18,633 students that applied, but this year there were 14,786. Maybe the charter applications went up, or more people chose their IB and didn't lottery.

That is a massive decline. I wonder if that's the biggest one year decline ever.

Interesting. I wonder if that's partially shored up by federal stimulus money. Do we know? How are DC school budgets decided? I was sure it was on the basis of the number of kids (with per-pupil funding increased based on need).

Exactly. We don’t do well w nice white moms.

We have loads of white moms at our school btw - they are not nice. They do the work. They show respect. As do their husbands and sometimes grandparents.

Most lottery applications are for PK and K. Could be that these people are just choosing private daycare or are moving to the suburbs.

I’m pretty sure I know this poster. Don’t tell them who we are. The high performing MS my kid is going to next year is also not listed. It’s one of many reasons we are happy w it.

And my friend who is posting. See you Saturday.

I’m not sure what you think you’re demonstrating? You come off as very cliquish and annoying. It’s a school, not a private club.
