Will there be any in person learning in 2020/2021?

Inspired parent here. I agree. I'm sort of suprised they're even attempting hybrid, honestly. Makes me nervous.

Me too. The city's data seems worse and worse every day.

What?! This is DC's most current data. https://coronavirus.dc.gov/release/coronavirus-data-july-21-2020
The amount of fear is just crazy to me.

Why? There are a lot of new cases today, more than there has been recently. When the college students come back it will get worse. Then, seasonal flu. Think about the trend, not just today.

No, I am looking at the data only. This should be about science and data and not speculation. DC's data is not "worse and worse every day."

Not EVERY day, but it is getting progressively worse. Look at the 7-day average, which accounts for the fluctuations. New Covid cases in DC are rising again: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/washington-dc-coronavirus-cases.html

And no, we won't go to in-person learning in January. It will be worse by then, not better. And at that time we'll be dealing with the flu too. This month, I imagine they will say they've decided on full DL and will re-evaluate in a few months. In a few months, they will call DL for the rest of the school year.

I'm hopeful that a vaccine will be out there before the 21-22 school year, and that we will have gathered enough information about this awful virus to effectively protect our kids and their teachers.

There's hope, after November when we get rid of Trump and Devos.

Devos is currently being sued for giving more money to private schools than public. DCPS is one of the school districts suing, along with many others as well as the NAACP.

If we have the money we will be able to do hybrid. I think the number of DC's cases can stay low if we say NO to

TOURISTS, BIG BARS AND RESTAURANTS, CHURCHES and the like.

At the new school, we have a choice DL or Hybrid (4 days at school and one day at home) and the school is small enough that social distancing and daily temperature taking can and will be enforced. I couldn't manage 8 classes and the drama with my kid like I had to last March, April and May again....it was too complicated.

Congratulations! What school did you choose for tenth grade?

I don’t care what DCPS says, I’m not sending my kid back until next year. It’s not safe for teachers, parents, or the community. Kids would likely be fine.

Even if Trump loses, he and DeVos are in charge until late January. So "after November" is a little optimistic on your part.

I'm just so frustrated that we're opening back up just before the point at which they're going to evaluate if it's safe to send kids back to school. Like, surprise, surprise, when we reopen for indoor dining, the Federal Government has mostly shifted/is shifting to Phase II (40-80% in office/day for, e.g., the State Department), metro is going back up to 70% capacity, etc... cases will spike! And, right after that happens, before people even have time to reflect and adjust their behavior, they'll evaluate the safety of returning kids to school and say, nope, cases are spiking. Which, of course. Instead, shut everything down until school is supposed to open. Then open school and hope we can get in at least a month or two of in person hybrid style, so kids can get to know their teachers/classmates/etc and so DL could even possibly work. Straight to DL for Kers who have never met their teachers or classmates? HA.

Not crazy. Positivity rate is low at 2.7. Rt is under 1. Hospitalizations under 80%. One death per day and likely to be elderly or with complications (RIP). 100% contract tracing.

Well let’s look at today’s numbers:

Positivity rate:1.7% but only 2500 tests conducted
RT: 1.01
Hospitalizations: 81%
This new nugget info: As national demand for testing increases and results take longer to come back in DC and across the country, DC Health has identified a need to increase the reporting lag time by four days to reduce volatility in the data. The most recent data reflects an increase in community spread. To ensure this graph accurately reflects the most recent data, the community spread count is being paused as these adjustments are made.”


And the death of a 24 year old.

Pretty similar. Sad of course. I got tested Monday and had my result Wed night.

Scary, I am a 23 year old teacher who was pushing to work in person...maybe not so much anymore.
