[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really scary.  I work as a case manager with DC Medicaid.  School is extremely protective for thousands of DC kids--it gives them food, daily structure (and time away from the chaos at home) and in some cases keeps them away from actual physical harm. 
 
I have no idea what the council is thinking.  This is going to be devastating to many DC kids whose parents don't or can't have their kids' best interest at heart.  I know it's hard to imagine this but many parents make daily and long-term decisions that harm their kids.  We saw this in the pandemic--tons of kids who were not schooled at all because there was no-one in the home to login them on, there were many parents who sold the school-owned devices, etc.  And this was just the educational neglect (there is physical neglect, abuse, etc).
