[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't is sustainable?  Logically, it hasn't been sustainable since March, yet nobody the power to change this calculus seems to mind. If my family is struggling with DL for an 8 year old--we are a lawyer and a PhD with mom working part-time--you can bet the poor and SpEd kids are screwed.

Where is the call to action for outside classes?  I have a sibling living in Scandinavia, where K-12 classes have commonly held outside since April, in a much colder climate.  She sends me pictures of her children happily learning seated in public parks.  I've worked in refugee camps where big tent schools worked surprisingly well.

Pretty clearly, the Mayor and DC ed leaders don't mind schools being closed for the rest of the year, possibly 2 or 3 years.  [/quote]

Unfortunately, I agree with everything in your post. Our SPED 1st grader has been backsliding during the pandemic. Remote IEP services aren't nearly as effective and she hates online learning. We have 3 kids and this is such a struggle. DC hasn't seemed to make any effort to work on schools for better ventilation, procure PPE and other equipment to ensure safety in person, explore outdoor options, etc. Bowser's only focus seems to be waiting for this virus to go away, and our elected officials aren't pushing back. She's had 6 months to come up with a real plan to get kids back in school but she hasn't taken ANY concrete steps. This inaction is inexcusable.[/quote]
