No your comprehension skills are poor. DC is part of the 36% not that 36% of kids have full time lmao. |
Oh shut up. You’re just mad that for once whites women aren’t winning as a whole. Your kid has online school if they don’t have IPL. Tough nuggets. I’m sure the fall will be better, 1.5 years is enough. Teachers as a whole won. |
Yes, because no BIPOC families want their kids back in school. You are flailing around a bit now, did you notice? |
Nah, not as much as your privileged bums. My kid is back in school
|
Teachers won? Was this a way between teachers and parents? How sick. I am sorry for feeding this troll... |
This is exactly why I asked this question. Sounds so far like a small percentage of schools and kids in them are 4-5 days per week, and only those in upper NW, the richest whitest schools that are the most similar to private schools. To me this is a big failure of the city. Still hoping somehow to convince our hybrid school to go full time, they are refusing but have no reason. |
+1 |
So you’re resource hoarding? |
The last laugh will be on teachers because a lot of parents are leaving DCPS because they are sick of WTU's antics. That means funding cuts, and that means layoffs (not to mention pay freezes) are coming for teachers. |
You keep saying that. Based on the waitlist numbers released that isn’t true. I know you are really wishing this happens, but it’s not |
DC actually lost more residents last year that almost any other city. Only New York City, San Francisco and a few others lost more. There's a lag in the data so it takes awhile for the numbers to come in. But the decline is only accelerate the longer DC becomes this weird island in the United States where full time public education of children is not offered. |
We don't quite have the full picture, but the lottery application data suggests a huge drop in applications to DCPS. Last year there were 18,633 students that applied, but this year there were 14,786. Maybe the charter applications went up, or more people chose their IB and didn't lottery. |
How are you getting that the waitlist numbers suggest that people aren't leaving? Applications and seats are both down (applications by 20%, seats by 6.5%). Those seem to suggest a marked decline in interest in enrolling in DC schools. But I'm interesting in understanding what you are seeing in the waitlist data. |
An anon list mostly of rich white ward 3 moms (argue away but the owner said it’s true) is no picture of the city My school is back and we aren’t listed here. |
NP. But I think you need to wait until the Charter Board releases their data. And to be honest all of this is just guessing and projecting. We need to see who shows up at their inbound school and actual enrollment numbers before declaring “no one wants to attend DC schools”. |
