Does Council bill just let people keep their kids home and not educate them?

Does yelling and swearing work for you? Well, I guess you all did yell and swear at the Council long enough to get potential child neglect legalized.

not to mention the educational neglect of almost ALL DC children from March 2020 - Sept 2021. It’s painfully painfully clear in retrospect that school closures have never been justified as a matter of public health this whole time. And yet these voices still have influence - almost as if the Council has to give them creedence so as not to face their role in the single biggest blow to the education of DC children in a generation.

You really need to get over yourself. Or don't and die mad. Either works for me.

I understand that you are good with creating legalized child abuse. And that makes you foul, and hurts the rest of your cause.

This is why we can't have nice things in DC. Because a bunch of paternalistic racists think that black people are incapable of making smart decisions for their kids and want to sick CPS on them.

Notice that nobody in this thread cares if pumpkin mom keeps her kids home. The concern all stems from those "other" families who might make the same choice. And that's "horrifying."

This has nothing to do with race. It is a reasonable standard that protects children period. I would be worried about any child being denied an education.

absolutely not. keeping kids of any race home is harmful. I declined to enroll my kid when we got an offer last year because the “oh no variants!” talk scared me. it was a big mistake. also - parents of ANY race could ALWAYS file the homeschool paperwork. This is about parents literally doing nothing to show their kids are being educated.

(also it’s weird that you think depriving kids of school is a “nice thing.”)

The nice thing you are talking about is the legalization of the ability to just not educate your child. You are arguing for that.

And the reason you don’t think it is a big deal is because you probably are so entitled and privileged that you believe the rules shouldn’t apply to you.

I agree that it is odd that the PP doesn’t believe that Black parents can file homeschool paperwork.

CPS isn't going to get involved with parents not sending in their kids to school during a pandemic. Lets be real.

Its funny how people are screaming about it to justify their own unsafe actions.

Now that ours is partially vaccinated, they still will not be returning in person as its not as simple as just vaccines.

As a white, educated parent who has worked in CPS, I find zero reason to file homeschooling paperwork. If I am to provide the education, its on me and the school has nothing to do with it. I gave the school the option with several notes from my doctors and my children's doctors saying it was unsafe for them to return for several reasons and the school said they wouldn't work with us. If they cannot work with us and give us the basic curriculum and support, then they had their chance and I would rather spend the time with my kids on their education than filling out paperwork.

If you want me to send my kids back in person, you, need to help make it safe. But, when you are living your life as normal and we are not, I'm not sending mine to be in a school with yours and we potentially risk covid from your families choices and behaviors. I will not be getting covid from your poor choices (I cannot blame the kids as its up to us as parents to teach responsibility and most parents care more about their needs and wishes than what is best for the kids and community).

If CPS wants to come visit, they are welcome to and I'll happily talk to them outside. I still have plenty of friends working in CPS who know I will handle the education so I cannot even imagine the call being screened in for investigation. My kids are ahead of grade level and in advanced classes. Even if they took a full year off of school, they'd be fine. If they took 2 years off of math, they'd still be way ahead of many kids.

Honey, you don't even know what child abuse really is nor do you get the difference between child abuse and neglect. If you are not educating your child it is a form of neglect but really no one cares. Just like no one cares when parents refuse to help with the homework or education outside of the school and expect the schools to do everything and when the kids are failing, they don't hold the schools or parents accountable.

Vaccines will help stop symptoms. You can still get and transmit covid so stop acting like the vaccine is the cure. Its a huge help, but its far from a cure.

As the perfect parent, why weren't you ensuring your kids got an education? You could have supplemented with workbooks and online classes (many free to low cost so don't scream cost) and ensured your kids participated in the online classes offered?

ok thanks for confirming you have some weird belief in your moral superiority that makes your extreme covid anxiety seem like a virtue to you, which justifies your defiance of all other rules related to your kid.

okay you are honestly giving us all an object lesson in why Bowser and DiBlasio were totally correct in saying "no virtual." You are being totally irrational, and it's going to hurt your kids.
