[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this means no chance of any in person school in DC? Zero exceptions? 
Public private high school college etc?[/quote]

Why would it mean that? If we remain in Phase 2, there can still be some in person school under DC guidelines. Colleges in DC are to come up with their own plans that must be approved by Mayor's office. [/quote]

The school guidelines for Phase 2 are nearly impossible to accommodate for most schools. Keeping a cohort of 11 kids plus one teacher (or rotating teachers) isolated from all other groups of students could work in some lower grades, if you have enough staff and enough classrooms (huge "if"), but once you get to a grade with leveled classes (honors, regular, AP, etc) and electives, very few students have the same schedules and they all mix as they change classes. In most schools this starts as early as 6th grade, and in a few, 4th grade. For example, my high school student is in a very small school, but there is only one other student with the exact same list of classes. They aren't going to be able to set up enough classrooms to have 2 per room, nor can you logistically set up a schedule that matches those individual schedules to classrooms and qualified rotating teachers (one teacher may have to hit 5 different rooms in one class period). If you've never seen a school's master class schedule, it will be hard to understand, but if you see one of those huge and complicated spreadsheets, you'd know right away that it just isn't possible. Add to that the number of students and particularly teachers who will required DL accommodation and you end up with even fewer teachers rotating to classrooms and are better off just doing DL.[/quote]
