All schools should offer an all-virtual option

We’re mean because we are posting about a person on a mission to shut down DC schools? You make yourself the public face of that, then you need to accept criticism.

In addition, if you become a school representative and therefore a public figure, be prepared for the people you are supposed to represent to be able to not agree with your proposals.

This person is constantly tweeting misinformation and hysteria to advance her agenda. Yeah maybe mean to call her out on an anonymous forum, but her Twitter is a lot

More constructively, if you disagree about DC offering a "virtual option to all", I'd encourage you to contact the council, your state board of education rep, and the mayor. The folks on this mission are loud and their (extraordinarily minority) position has gotten some attention from both the press and elected reps.

While doing so, ask for accountability on the ongoing HVAC issues!

The petition is asking for central office to provide a virtual option in addition to in person instruction. They are not trying to shut down dc schools.

A virtual option at every school (as has been repeatedly expressed throughout this thread) hurts the majority of children. Resources are not infinite.

What Becky wants is to harm the majority of students. That's really not ok.

If Becky truly wanted something that did not harm other children, she'd probably get more support. As it is, people should vehemently oppose a virtual option at all schools.

Almost 1,200 families have filled out a petition that I’ve only seen shared by the same 4-5 similarly minded ppl on Twitter. It seems like a good amount of families are intrigued by this

Email these people and tell them you want schools open 100 percent in person. No virtual option at all. It's time to get these kids back in school. Enough of this craziness. If you can go on vacation or a restaurant or a bar or gym, your kids can go -- and belong in -- school.

More resources could be poured into public education to allow a virtual option for all who want it, but doing it on a per school basis is too inefficient.

+1. And all the posts are either baseless fear mongering or false. The 7 day average for example is 153, not whatever higher number she said. Also, while we may have been (wrongly) shut down last August for much lower numbers, DCPS successfully opened in March with the same average numbers we have now and much less of a plan and significantly less vaccinated adults. I feel for the person because it’s clear their is true anxiety going on based on the posts about crying all day long but that shouldn’t be driving baseless fear within the community. It’s crazy town

But you know what would happen? The virtual option would be flooded with kids who live in W 7 and 8, the same ones whose parents refused to send them to even one day of in person school last year, and many of whom disappeared entirely throughout the school year. THAT is why Bowser doesn't want to do it. These kids are the ones who need in person school far more than any others.

And that is why it’s icky for a ww who admittedly has means to keep her kids home shouldn’t be driving this train.

Did they call for that to be a centralized option or at every school?

A virtual option at every school is inefficient, period. It takes away from everyone.
