Schools cannot educate under these constraints - public schools are far worse off due to higher class sizes. The alternative is to sit your child alone at home on zoom - numerous studies have demonstrated this to be ineffective, and developmentally, lead to diminished social capacity.
DC Government needs to be heavily lobbied, and if that doesn't work, suing DC to revoke Mayor Bowser's order, which she has issued on shaky legal ground.
I am a lawyer, but more importantly, a parent. Anyone interested send an email to educatedc89@gmail.com to get a group started.

Weird flex, bro.
Yeah - this impacts everyone - why let the mayor implement a policy that, frankly, private schools have the financial resources to navigate, further exacerbating inequality?

I’m cautiously on board with trying to increase class sizes.
However, I don’t want my voice to contribute in any way to the DeVos agenda of damaging real public schools.
No affiliation - I owe all I have to education and don't want to watch Bowser take that away from the next generation.
