Our charter has done this throughout the pandemic---in the same messages gauging interest for IPL through surveys, they've constantly reminded us that any hybrid program means the school can't continue to provide CARES-like classes to kids in need. It's like they're trying to make parents who want ILP feel like garbage about that stance.

I'm a charter school teacher, and I think it's an important reminder for people like yourselves. And good on the school for creating a survey in such a way that it makes you think about how inequitable it is for you to try to put your kids back in classrooms.

Who is being hurt by kids coming in to school?

Me

But you do see how the way the survey is written and is being conducted makes the results useless, yes? Are they going to try some other way to figure out who wants to come back in person and who supports ABAR?

Do they actually care, though?

Obviously not - about either question.

You SHOULDN'T actually ever again use any public school resources, if you care about inequality. But still have your kid enrolled, so the school gets its per-pupil funding. So enroll in private but ALSO lie to DCPS and have them enrolled in DCPS. If you actually care about equity.

Psyops for the junior high set. Awesome.

No I do not care, if it makes parents think twice about putting their kids back in classes. I hope that was the point of the survey. To influence parent opinion rather than get any information from them

How paranoid are you?

Very paranoid - this is a really weird question to have on this survey. Also a weird question to force people to answer in a non-anonymous way. I think schools should not be in the business of this social engineering, but I recognize that that is not a PC position to have in DC and am legitimately concerned that the school will hold this against my family - either directly or indirectly.

Wow. That is paranoid!

It’s actually quite intuitive. It’s also not paranoid if you follow current events, read The NY Times (notably the Smith college article), understand the current climate and trajectory of hot button social issues, understand social justice activism, how critical race theory is becoming mainstream and pervasive, how narrowly institutions must straddle all these issues to placate all sides, and how we basically live in a shame based culture, with the ever present threat of being labeled out of touch, or at worst racially insensitive or racist, on social media and having your life and/or career ended in the public eye if you stray into wrongthink territory.

Omg, you’re worried about “cancel culture” social media?! I do keep up with the news but DGAF about Twitter. Twitter is optional participation. I made through HS/college during the first wave of PC.

In a way, I respect this level of passive aggression. Much like I respected Trump's ability to manipulate and gaslight. But it certainly doesn't lead to good relations between parents and the school.

And I thought it was just the WTU that was using children as leverage during a pandemic.

I’m ok with my kids going back for IPL but am also ok with ABAR. Is this wrong, Charter School Teacher?

omg. the inequity is YOUR fault.

Right? Isn’t it just a little unfair to the African American bus driver that he can’t go back to work because you won’t teach? I get you don’t want to go back to school because it’s super chill at home, but I feel like once people are vaccinated they should go and teach.

What I meant is that people of all races need to have their kids in school so they can work.

DP. You are just absurd with your inflammatory rhetoric.
