[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's bad enough that the head of public schools won't send his kids to those very same schools.

But the *real issue* here is that he won't allow public school kids to attend school, because it is supposedly too dangerous, even though his own children have been going to school EVERY DAY FOR MONTHS. [/quote]

Yeah I don't care that he sends his kids to private school but I do care that he won't open the public schools because they are too dangerous while he sends his kids to private schools.  This is made worse by the fact that there are no metrics about why it is too dangerous- obviously its not vaccines since schools have been open since way before vaccines.  So what is it?  What will get the schools to open to all kids that want a spot?

And clearly he can't take the model of a well-run school and apply it to DCPS because DCPS schools being closed while publics and privates across the country are open is a very badly run system.  If his private school said that they would do a lottery for open spots and couldn't promise a spot to everyone for term 4 would he be OK with that?  Doubtful- so why is it ok for DCPS?  I have seen no explanation of why DCPS is excluding so many kids that want to go back- that does not seem to be a feature of any other school district or any private schools that I have seen.[/quote]
