[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this talk of moving is very remincent of a temper tantrum.

Yes you don't like the current system in a pandemic.  Are you anticipating another pandemic in 3-4 years and if so do you think DCPS will have the same behavior.

Cut off your nose to spite your face. Please stop with the threats and just go.

+1, and you don’t have to announce that you’re leaving either! We don’t care.[/quote]

I agree that we're unlikely to see a big change in the population, but I do think we're already seeing and will continue to see a net exodus from schools with wealthy students. If it really matters to the city-well, that's another discussion. [/quote]

[b]Keeping schools closed so long will accelerate the long-term trend of DC becoming a childless city, i.e. the overall population grows but the share under the age of 18 shrinks.

It was already happening here before the pandemic. If parents can't count on the school system being open, even as schools are open almost everywhere else in the rest of the country, then they will take their kids elsewhere and the share of the population under the age of 18 in DC will fall even faster.

I wouldn't want to be a teacher in a city where the number of students is perpetually declining because it means the city will need a lot fewer teachers.  [/b]
