[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not actually see any issues with implementing the CARE plan. Logistically it means hiring a few hundred individuals with a high school diploma and 24 hours of college credit that can pass some sort of background check. They do not have to have experience working with children. I cannot imagine it is going to be too hard to staff up CARE programs.

I am not sure if they will hit their goals and get enough teachers to handle the in person learning and they did not leave themselves much wiggle room.

There will be some push back for kids that get new teachers and the change in classrooms, but DCPS is pretty good at ignoring pushback.

If you want distance learning, apart from the juggling of the classes and teachers, nothing is really changing and there is no reason that distance learning really needs to stick with traditional classroom and teacher ideas.

If you want childcare, you might be able to get a spot. That is great for the parents that need it.[/quote]

I disagree, DCPS struggles in hiring people ALL THE TIME. I assume they will go through an agency in order to get enough bodies this quickly. We have seen the caliber of the security guards and all other for-hire personnel. To me, it seems like a HUGE risk. Besides COVID, this babysitting gig in a huge empty school sounds like complete anarchy. You'll have CARES "teachers' on their phone, high, being completely inattentive. This on top of when they start calling sick or simply not showing up.  I'd rather give my child an ipad all day in our couch and call it a day than to send her to that mess.[/quote]

I agree with that. Hopefully they will be attentive enough to stop physical alterations, major disruptions and get the kids out of the building in case of a fire. For those that can keep their kids at home, they probably should, but for those that cannot, even the worst childcare is probably a huge improvement.
