There are a few key things to understand

1. There is federal ADA and DC ADA. One is very narrow- and one is very broad. (I will let you figure which is which :)
2. If a teacher has leave granted under DC ADA they can ABSOLUTELY be called back, IF there is parent demand for IPL. They will huff and puff and it can absolutely happen.

3. Ask your childs teacher why they won't come in. If they are big boy/girl enough to coast on virtual learning- they are big enough to hear it- from you. [/quote]

Here is the thing.  These people posting on here WOULD NEVER say this stuff to the teachers face.  Can you imagine asking your teacher to by they are refusing to come in and coasting by teaching virtually and they tell you they are currently receiving chemo for a cancer diagnosis?  How dumb would you feel to demand to know someone business and then find out they have a valid reason. [/quote]

Then they need to be on a leave of absence.  And another person needs to cover their in-person classes.  I’m a former teacher (and I’d head to public school in a heartbeat if they wouldn’t make me go to some shitty accredited program despite having taught in the best private and charter schools in the country) and virtual learning on its own DOES NOT WORK.[/quote]

My post was a more about the fact that some parents believe they are entitled to Heath information about teachers.  They are not. [/quote]

Definitely agree with you there.  My point is that remaining virtual is not a reasonable accommodation as it places an undue burden on the school (specifically the students whose education is being sacrificed).[/quote]

Agree. If we get to next year, and virtual school is allowed as a reasonable accommodation, we are in trouble for in person school.[/quote]

I dont even want to think about this possibility. As if it wasn't bad enough already having half the teachers stay home in the 4th quarter, they now have pulled specialists to cover the classes in person for those teachers. Kids no longer can receive reading and math intervention at our school now. They are completely suffering.[/quote]

Would you stop with this lie? 70% of teachers are doing IPL. Oh and BTW my HS teacher friends are doing 'IPL' with 0/20+ students showing up. Lol. 
DCPS needs to do a big PK-12th online school for people who want it so it doesn't interfere with individual schools.[/quote]

Wait what lie??? 52% of our classroom teachers came back for 4th term in person...that’s a data point. Not quite subjective lol [/quote]
