[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do realize every single DCPS middle school has the exact same plan, right?   You can blame Deal all you want but it’s all the same [/quote]

I would be surprised to learn that every middle school has kids coming in one time a week to do 2 distanced learning classes and no in person instruction.  But I can’t say I’ve researched it.[/quote]

The city is not allowing Middle Schools to open more than this. See below and write to your elected representatives:

The Washington Post reports about Middle and High Schools that "the D.C. guidance says that these older students should still maintain six feet of social distancing if students are switching classes during the day while there is “substantial community spread.” D.C. meets the substantial community spread threshold, but the school system has said it will not allow students to switch classes and mix cohorts this academic year. Because students will be in strict cohorts they need to maintain only three feet of social distancing."

The city deliberately took the path of three feet distancing that forces middle schools to stay closed, because class switching is not allowed. It needs to change to six feet distancing WITH class switching in accordance with OSSE guidance and surrounding school districts, which are offering up to ten times as much in-person instruction for every student (e.g. MCPS, FCPS and Arlington).
