I understand you're all furious, but surely you don't expect these schools to open up for the last weeks of school? Many younger students would not have time to acclimate, and I'm sure the administrators are taking this into consideration. We're in MCPS, which opened in rotating groups very gradually from March to May, and I thought that was rather late in the year for some students... there is no way anything is going to change for DCPS this school year. Which doesn't mean you can't voice your frustration, out of principle. But it won't get you anywhere. |
| It’s not just DC, friend’s school in Brazil has been out since March of last year with no plans to be onsite any time soon. |
This is the story you are telling yourself. The real story: It was a global pandemic and like many other places in the word, schools here had to adapt. It was a bad situation but we did what we could to keep children and the rest of us safe. Some of you have clearly never dealt with not getting what you want, the way you want it, exactly when you want it. |
But the situation in Brazil is not comparable to the US. In Brazil the situation is terribly dire, with such a huge amount of cases and enormous struggles to roll out the vaccine. |
You realize schools all over the country have been open for months and that private and parochial schools right here in DC are open for IPL. So you go ahead and get over it but the rest of us will keep working to do what is best for our kids. |
we had about 6 weeks left in DC, so yes, they should add back all the kids who want to be there. Refusing to do so is just adults throwing up their hands and deciding they don’t care to make an effort. |
Some countries prioritized keeping schools open and closed other things not the other way around like DC where everything except schools are open. Keeping children safe or anyone else for that matter is not Bowser’s priority - indoor dining - open, sports events - open, hair salons - open, school - closed. |
You solved it! ALL of the thousands of DCPS and Charter school employees just dgaf and you are the one who holds all the answers. They should fire them all en masse and hire you! |
The "real story"?? The real story is that most schools in this country figured out how to reopen safely, many fully, for their students. Most of the private schools right there in DC figured this out too. But DCPS couldn't figure it out, and the mayor completely punted on doing her job w/ regard to schools, and most of DC's teachers were happy to obstruct, delay, and otherwise refuse to return in person even after they were given priority for vaccination. This has nothing to do with safety; it's about power. The idea that parents wanting their kids to be able to return to school is some kind of childish demand to "get what we want, the way we want it" is ridiculous. What a despicable way to frame this absolutely unacceptable situation. Shame on you. |
Well yea it’s easy to also frame it your way lol. I’m a teacher who currently teaches in a room that’s not my own bc there have to be extra rooms set up for covid protocols. Those will still have to exist until children are vaccinated. Not sure where you think additional students will go. Honestly, your pleas sound childish bc you’re not in the school and have no clue about how the logistics work. Screaming “open the schools” without accounting for all the additional protocols need to be put in place is why you exist on an anonymous message board and not with the real decision makers. |
NP and no idea what 'your schtick" is supposed to mean, but the PP is correct. Your kids are NOT going back in person until the fall and you do indeed have no recourse. |
Nailed it, especially the last sentence. |
Some people want us to conveniently forget that parochial and privates were open in DC all year without causing death and destruction... face it, you’re complicit in the biggest governmental f-up in education in our generation. |
you know exactly what you’re schtick is, and we all see it too. |
