What phone calls? |
Sounds like phone calls to private schools. I dunno though… I agree that lack of litigation suggests little Johnny went to K. |
Also extremely possible they went private because no sane lawyer wanted a part of that. |
First hand information, they were allowed in kindergarten. |
NP but of course they were. DCPS always caves to loud parents. |
| We are at Lafayette and know people who did NOT get to enroll in K (kids are definitely in 1st having never gone to K) so I would be surprised if this information were correct. It would be really hard to justify agreeing for the complainers kid and not for the others. |
| Sheridan and WES each took at least one kid. |
I know 2 left for private and 1 is in 1st, so perhaps the family that moved from Florida (which had the most sympathetic case) were allowed to enroll in K? |
Students in many schools were impacted. A number of students left DCPS. |
How did they "leave" DCPS if they never started in the first place? |
It doesn’t surprise me you fixate on immaterial technicalities while missing the big picture. The parents who moved their kids were willing to deal with a lot for the sake of being in a community system. Now they have removed themselves from being part of your community system. Also their kids are getting smaller classes, collaborative teachers, and yes, redshirting. Meanwhile Trump is asserting power over DC. Learn to pick your battles or you’ll lose the war. |
DCPS rules are that you enroll the kid in 1st, then the kid can be sent back to K if appropriate. I think that makes a lot of sense - so some of those kids might still end up in K. This allows the teachers to see if the kid really does need it. There is such a broad range of maturity and reading levels that I can easily see some redshirted kids being ready for K and others not. |
That could have say been a kid with an IEP who clearly was not ready for K. |
I mean 1st. |
Here is the universal rule: When someone wants to be part of a community, they must respect the guidelines of the said community, and not show up with entitlement and PR campaigns. |
