[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who would choose distance learning (if/when given the choice), what would change your mind to send your child/ren back to the classroom in person? Are there health metrics or something that would prompt you to have your child return to school buildings?  Do you expect public schools/public charters to provide distance learning if and when the covid pandemic is considered over? What are your expectations going forward?  [/quote]

I’ll bite here.  The daily case rate and the percent positive are too high.  I don’t like the prospect of my kids being tied to a desk and not allowed free movement.  We have a nanny so childcare is not an issue. I would never expect charters or Dcps to continue the option next year.  I anticipate being comfortable sending my kid back fully in August, maybe in April/May but I’m not sure. [/quote]

Similar feeling here. My kids are in MS and HS, are self-sufficient, and are doing fine in DL. We’d all prefer in-person but don’t think it makes sense to return in the middle of the worst outbreak since the beginning of the pandemic. I’m hoping conditions will improve in the spring and would consider a return then.

There’s really nothing DCPS or our individual schools could do that would make me more comfortable with the idea of returning in the next two months.[/quote]

I agree.  I would say it’s surreal kids are going back to school during a raging pandemic.

What's surreal is for US public schools to be closed for more than a year while all other developed countries have found ways to bring kids back without creating superspreader situations in school buildings. Especially for a virus that is less dangerous to kids than the flu.[/quote]
