2-hour delay

I think the problem here is that they should have just repeated what they did today so that everyone gets a full day of school. Do away with this "two hour delay" policy when switching to remote is easy. What's the point of opening two hours late? Also there are some schools that are doing half-day inperson programs.

I might not be using the right term. There are kids in person and kids that the teacher is teaching to at home at the same time. Concurrent is maybe another term for it? I don’t even know any more except that it’s a hot mess.

Yeah I still agree with other posters that it should just be a full virtual day for all students. A two hour delay is dumb when you can easily switch to virtual learning.

Lol. My MS student gets no math. So that’s math once this week. Oh well.

Teacher here who signed up to teach in person. I am unable to teach from my house so I am glad DCPS called a two hour delay. It’s wrong to think teachers that are in person should easily go from in person teaching to virtual. My in person lessons look way different from my virtual ones.

I am wondering how prevalent teachers who are working person do not also have virtual teaching responsibilities. I am doing both, responsible for in person learning and remote small groups. The only upside to this is that we can switch IPL/virtual seamlessly but the IPL students are spending nearly as much time on computers which almost entirely defeats the purpose of them being in the school. I'm not sure there is another way, if our class has to quarantine due to a positive case we would all have to go virtual.

This is just so dumb. It’s a sheet of ice outside and currently snowing/sleeting. They should have just said full virtual. This is all optics for DCPS. They don’t want a virtual week.

The start time for virtual students should not be delayed. This isn't equity.

I think the point is that the whole day should have been virtual. I'm the PP teacher who does both virutal/IPL, I have to go in today so I couldn't get my virtual groups up and running on a virtual scheduled even if I wanted to.

Not for families who need the CARES classrooms.

just proves again that dcps didn't think things through and plan for anything. 80% of kids aren't IPL so because of the 20% we are all without school. Its ridiculous.

Our school has IPL isolated classrooms, not simulcast (which sounds worse than DL - someone tell me how its good for all kids and how, I don't see it). So 83% of our kids are not getting instruction when their teachers are home ready to teach and know how.

DCUM parents all need to chill. Your little snowflakes will survive the two hour delay. Why must you make everything about you?

Of course they will survive. But you must agree it’s stupid for MSs and HSs.

We will all survive - I'm happy my little angel could sleep in - but for a school district that has moaned and groaned and not planned anything in a year this is just another example of their piss poor planning.

and for all the parents that moaned and groaned about learning loss so getting IPL was so critical here you are with your kids on your couch. I get snow and ice in DC is random but it does happen in Feb. For all the WFH people in DCPS one person could have spent a few days figuring this out.

Boo hoo. You all will get through this. Just remember how lucky you are and quit bitching. So much self-absorption among DCUM parents.

Was it your job at DCPS to plan for this and you didn't?

Dear troll,

You forgot to mention race, and unions. This was a poor effort.
