[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC schools serve a more economically disadvantaged population that will need more supports for distance learning than the surrounding districts. I suspect they are thinking about that.[/quote]

Are they more economically disadvantaged than Baltimore City Schools?  [b]They chose virtual for safety.[/b]  If they can....so can DC. [/quote]

You have no idea how safe  or unsafe it can be with precautions. And just because Baltimore City chose all virtual doesn't it does not have consequences for the well being of children and families. Both AAP and CDC have encouraged schools to think critically about the risks of COVID to children versus the benefits of attending school in person, at least some of the time. It you have a telework job that requires mostly email checking and/or affording a nanny, babysitter or tutor it is very easy to shut your eyes to the crisis of work and child care for low income families that this situation is worsening. I hope DC schools are thinking about these real issues.[/quote]
