It clearly makes you very uncomfortable. You’re projecting your own way of coping onto everyone else. You’re so afraid of authority and you so need to conform to what you understand as proper that you can’t stand to see other people expressing anger and dissatisfaction. It ruins your little fantasy that your life is perfect and perfectly under control. |
For some reason, entitled parents really hold onto vaccine priority which was really getting 20% of the spots in the lottery pool along with tens of thousands of others. I, and many of my teacher friends who WANTED to return in person, had to get vaccinated out of DC. |
Neither am I. I’m so mad. I used to be a democrat... this has really moved the political needle for me... |
A lot of the charters don’t have unionized teachers. You are becoming a Republican over schools that did not open? Sounds like the Central Park liberal calling the cops on the black man. You all are funny. Again, everyone seems to miss the point that there are a lot of families in the district not ready for in person. Step out of your white bubble. |
What are you even talking about? Because my school is open I’m projecting and afraid of authority? Ummmmmm.........ok........ I guess |
White bubble? Proud Japanese American. Education matters. If you are “not ready for in person” at this stage of the game, you can’t be helped. Your path is pretty clear - your choice. |
I mean, schools in Conn, NYC, Mass, NH, Florida, Utah, Ohio, Vermont, etc. etc. are now fully open 5 days a week. So, by here, you mean in this one city the schools got their full funding and felt no obligation to provide quality education with it. |
Sure. If you don't take science into account. |
Except, many schools are not open with space having nothing to do with the decision. And many high risk families chose not to go back because 2 days a week here and there is just not feasible. Speaking for these families as if they are one suggests your understanding of equity and privilege is limited to when you can use equity and privilege arguments to support getting what you want when you want it. Trumpiest? Karen? Who is childish? |
Maybe the people who don't understand how vaccination and viruses work should step out of their ignorance bubble and stop holding everyone else's children hostage. The DC residents who don't get vaccinated but say they feel scared to send their kids back to school shouldn't' be catered to by city leaders. They should be called out for the damage they are doing to this city's kids -- including their own. Too scared? Then homeschool your kid. Don't want to get vaccinated? Fine. But don't use your ignorance to prevent others from their right to an in person education. At this point, saying that a lot of families are "not ready for in person" is merely boasting about your own ignorance. |
Charters are hiding behind DCPS. When did wanting schools to be open and teach kids in person become a racial issue? It is you who needs to get out of your bubble and look around at all the schools in this country that are open and have been for months. DC is the last place where the overwhelming majority of schools are not fully open for in person learning. If you and the other families in the district are not ready for in person enroll your kids in an online school. |
| The charters have been absolutely shameful. We truly regret that our kids are in one that has refused to open its doors to in-person learning, despite DC’s good metrics. And they perpetuate and support the idea that black and brown families don’t want to be in school. It is all such BS. We are one of those families, as are most of our friends, and we want our kids in school. DC and its political and education leadership disgust me. |
Wouldn’t you also say charter leadership disgusts you? |
Kids are still not vaxxed. Kids still get Covid in schools. Some families have people in them that are medically unable to get the vaccines. Unfortunately these are all facts no matter how much anger you clearly have for ‘ignorant’ people. |
That’s irrational. |
