[quote=Anonymous]Ridiculous. Our kids are at Cap City and were VERY angry that they never opened their doors during the last academic year. However, the suggestion that the school was hell for the past 2 years is waaaayyyyyy off base. Our kids loved the school - and so did we - prior to the pandemic. Way more positives than negatives. This is a poster who comes here regularly because they are angry about last year and they are clearly no longer at the school. The poster has obviously moved on and should stop trashing a school that still serves 1000 students. Do something positive if you want to help. The heat is a real issue - not made up. And, while I had MANY issues with Cap City not opening at all last year when they could have and should have in the spring and it has made us much more circumspect about their leadership, their plan last week for the return from winter break was far more sensible and orderly than the DCPS plan and we actually appreciated it. As with the rest of the city, the percentage of students who tested positive was quite high and we were appreciative that  this was caught. Makes the building safer for everyone. Give credit where credit is due. It was a bad decision to stay completely shuttered last Spring but that does not mean that every decision is a bad one - or that people can not learn and grow from their mistakes. Or that they are lying about the heat problem. Kids can’t be in a school building without adequate heat and staff can not work in those conditions. My own employer (non-profit) has sent us home periodically because of heat problems in the building. Shit happens.[/quote]
