[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw many kids (mostly Hispanic and black) waiting for buses (in delayed schedule and rerouted routes) for long periods of time. This was poorly planned and only equitable/good for those who live close to school or have and can drive cars. Shame on DCPS, the Mayor, and WMATA. [/quote]

Me again. Not saying school should have NOT open but the city must offer bus services if they are going to open ON TIME. [/quote]

This to me is the real argument. Teachers have had to find flexibility before, like all working parents, but not working with WMATA to ensure safe access to school is a massive oversight. I know it's a balancing act but to not communicate at least the transport issues and offer alternatives is terrible.[/quote]

100% agree the Mayor should have worked with WMATA. But even if she didn’t — or possibly tried and failed — you shouldn’t keep an entire school system closed because a small percentage of kids have their normal transport disrupted. Jackson Reed is right by the Tenleytown metro. Everyone can get there on public transport, it just might take longer.[/quote]
