I'm sorry you are feeling this. Totally understand what you are going through. I think that DCPS could do many different things and be creative about this.  In the midst of delta, I don't think reopening all elementary schools for everyone, having 30 person classrooms, full cafeterias is a good idea.  That said, why can't DCPS reopen for PK-2 because this is really the group that virtual makes the least sense (kids 3, 4, 5, 6 don't have the attention span or the maturity to sit through these virtual classes).  Then DCPS can have a more flexible virtual/in-person for 3-5 to alleviate the crowding at elementary schools.  Middle school and High schools should all be open because kids have access to vaccines.  That is just one thought and there are probably many more, but DCSP is not thinking of alternate plans and burying their heads in the sand.[/quote]

YES! A more flexible virtual/in-person for 3-5 until they can be vaccinated, soon. Considering how contagious delta is, and how much circulating virus there will be by September, it's unacceptable that the only option for cautious upper el families be to seek a fraudulent medical note and to abandon their own elementary school for a full year of virtual academy.

I'm glad that the people who want to have a virtual option will have one, but it is unfair to teachers and other students to do concurrent, or some hybrid option.  We've listened to teachers here tell us how difficult this past year has been, and how overworked they are.  I don't believe it is right to ask them to continue.[/quote]
