Tune back in a few years and they'll almost certainly have been quietly enrolled at GDS. [/quote]

Lol. Seriously.

So disappointed in this guy, who I liked before. Sort of reminds me of my childless friends who post articles about keeping schools closed. I have noticed they’re quiet now though. The situation is clearly out of control.[/quote]

He has a kid in DCPS.[/quote]

Yes, he does, and he pitched a hissy fit when the school (partially) reopened and vowed to unenroll. The majority of parents at his school wanted in person school per the survey, and there aren't even enough spots for those who want it. Now he's pissy at the school community. [/quote]

This is not true. We attend the school, I believe his kids grade. I also turned down a spot. I believe anyone that wants a spot in that grade can have one.[/quote]

1. It's all true. Stop lying to protect him.
2. There are students at this school who want spots but weren't offered them. I didn't say "his child's grade" but you knew that.
3. There are two entire grades at his school currently with no in person learning or CARE classrooms. Just nothing in person for these kids until they hopefully open spots in term 4. 
4. There are grades that offer in-person but not everyone who wanted a spot was offered one.[/quote]

There are classes that don’t have in person because there are no teachers to cover them, not lack of space. Are you seriously implying it’s because White that there are some classes without IPL? 🙄[/quote]

You continue to make false allegations regarding what I said. I never said that it's Robert White's fault that there are some classes without IPL. I merely corrected your false statement: "I believe anyone that wants a spot in that grade can have one (an in person spot)."

You clearly stated that anyone who wants an in person spot could have one at his school, and that's not true. I'm beginning to wonder if you're Robert White or his wife. He's certainly petty enough to come on this forum and make up lies to defend himself.[/quote]

Your quote of my quote is still accurate. In MY child’s grade, anyone that wanted a spot got one. [/quote]

Everything that I've said is true, and you continue to make false statements. Enough with your WTU trolling here. Most Shepherd parents don't support you.[/quote]

What are you talking about?! I’m not affiliated with WTU. I want full time in person. I just don’t see White as being the impediment. Some of the back to school crazies make us all look bad.[/quote]

I'm keeping my kids home for now and I'm very skeptical of the extremist anti-union nuts.  But I do sympathize with what I assume are the vast majority of parents who want schools to reopen for good reason.  I think there's a lot of middle ground to get many people what they need, especially with the significant influx of funding from the federal level.  I forget the amount, but I think it's going to be thousands of dollars per student.  I'm sure we can collaborate and find a way to make it work.  Minus the extremists.[/quote]

Can you explain what you mean by extremism in this regard? Those who want a full opening in the fall? Those who want hybrid for all in Term 4? Those who want to follow the science that clearly says that 6 feet distancing does not generate a meaningful increase in safety vs. 3 feet? Those who point out that the 11-kid cohort limit is not even in the CDC guidelines? Who exactly are the extremists?[/quote]

Those who are pushing full reopening while holding up certain scientific studies, ignoring others, ignoring the current state of the pandemic, and excoriating the WTU.[/quote]

I see this claim a lot that those who point out the studies that show the relative safety of school opening, during the current state of the pandemic, are cherry picking the research. It is never accompanied by links to the studies that they supposedly ignore.[/quote]
