In person options are deceptive

I am PP and I meant they would have to move around all of the teachers, have kids switch classes, etc. That seems foolish to do in March. That doesn’t mean the fall will be the same. But if you are want your kid in person so bad that the physics teacher is teaching Spanish in person, by all means continue to push for in person at the school this year.

My child has had a horrible experience this year. It is no different than swapping out teachers due to someone going on long term leave (had 2 of these)

There are kids really truly struggling and the Administration is offering nothing. It is not hard to pull a cohort of the lowest 20% of children interested in In Person Instruction and doing something. It might not be perfect - but it would be significantly better than what is happening.

I agree. DCPS doubling down on not changing teachers for Term 4 is just making them look like dinosaurs. Why is it foolish to change teachers in March if it means that kids can actually get in person learning? My kid's teacher is a face on a screen to him, not a teacher; he would be fine having a different teacher for a month and a half.

Nope. Feel free to move to those districts.

There's the rub and the fault in the "logic" of this DCUM echo chamber. It's the same silliness that causes people to complain that DCPS or Charters "don't have a plan". Not having a plan is very different than not liking the plan or the outcome. But if you've spent your entire life getting what you want if you just cry loud enough and/or flex your privilege then I imagine this whole experience is a bit of a mindf***. And don't get me started on all of the architects, lawyers, accountants, and other grad degree holders in DC who read a study and have decided they are now Fauci-esque epidemiologists. Seriously, if I had a dime for every neighbor who cited "the studies they'd read" I'd be retired.

It doesn't matter what your kid "would be fine with."

It. Is. Not. Going. To. Happen.
