I am secretly LOLing at the parents who jumped to private

who are now shutting down through the holidays.

Hope you like paying your big fat tuition bill for nothing!

Fwiw, we hired a tutor rather than doing private and our tutor will of course continue to come and even increase her hours. So I don't really have a dog in this particular fight. Just been cringing at how superior the private school parents think they are.

You sound like a peach, OP.

Another lovely person.

Happy Thanksgiving to both of you.

I don’t think I’m superior. It’s frustrating. But my child loves school, has a tiny cohort so gets a ton of attention on Zoom classes, and we have a great community. I hope you have that at public, too.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out this was going to happen. Scientists and public health people have been predicting this surge since the very beginning.

Education does not need to occur in a school building. You sound very narrow-minded, OP. I send my kid to private school to teach him what he wasn't learning in public school- hard work, learning to be prepared the first time, etc. His straight As in public school were not an accurate representation of what he was producing there. Now he knows how hard he really needs to work in order to get the same grades. I'. happy to pay for that. I'd rather have him learn this in MS and HS than in college.

My kids have been in person since August. I am totally fine (and actually hope) if schools close down now. I know they are committed to reopening when it is safer to do so. And the last months have been awesome in terms of education, getting to know their teachers, seeing other kids, etc. Very happy with what is happening.

Don't regret private in the least. My kids have been able to go in person for 2 1/2 months and the school has not switched to virtual yet. Even if they do, the education will be excellent.

Not sure what you're looking for OP. Sorry you can't afford it.

My kindergartener’s school will follow the governor’s order. She will be in school unless we go to phase 1. LOL away.

Between the kids who’ve gone private and the kids who just plain don’t log in anymore, my kid’s public school cohort has gotten pretty small too. Not complaining, he’s doing great.

This is true. My kid's NW DC public is down to 15 kids in my child's class. It's actually turning out to be an incredible year.

We also have a kid in a top DC private (older grade). We're paying $49K this year (all-in) and have received 4 in-person days so far. About $12K per day. LOL
I have to laugh or I'll cry.

Anecdotes do not equal data. Stop generalizing based on your experience.

I'm cringing over how superior you think you are.
