[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There does indeed seem to be something pathological at this stage about the posters who sneer at the desire for people to want their kids in in-person school after a year at home, particularly with widescale teacher and staff vaccinations.[/quote]

It's bizarre and wrong that teachers can cut to the front of the line for vaccinations, before lots of people with more pressing need, and still keep schools closed. [/quote]

Oh shut up. You’re just mad that for once whites women aren’t winning as a whole. Your kid has online school if they don’t have IPL. Tough nuggets. I’m sure the fall will be better, 1.5 years is enough. Teachers as a whole won.[/quote]

The last laugh will be on teachers because a lot of parents are leaving DCPS because they are sick of WTU's antics. That means funding cuts, and that means layoffs (not to mention pay freezes) are coming for teachers.

You keep saying that.  Based on the waitlist numbers released that isn’t true.  I know you are really wishing this happens, but it’s not [/quote]

How are you getting that the waitlist numbers suggest that people aren't leaving?  Applications and seats are both down (applications by 20%, seats by 6.5%).  Those seem to suggest a marked decline in interest in enrolling in DC schools.  But I'm interesting in understanding what you are seeing in the waitlist data.[/quote]

NP. But I think you need to wait until the Charter Board releases their data.

And to be honest all of this is just guessing and projecting. We need to see who shows up at their inbound school and actual enrollment numbers before declaring “no one wants to attend DC schools”. [/quote]

Yeah, but we won't see any official DCPS-wide enrollment numbers until something like Jan., 2022.

No one said that "no on wants to attend DC schools."  A PP did argue that there [i]won't[/i] be a decline in enrollment in DCPS.  The stats we have suggest there [i]will [/i]be, the question will just be how large it is.

At any rate, the decline in seats suggests that DCPS is planning to have fewer kids this year.  Since the 2% decline in enrollment between 2019/20 and 2020/21 actually caused budget concerns, I would expect a 6.5% decline to also lead to budget shortfalls (and perhaps teacher layoffs). [/quote]
