[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many weeks are left in school year? [/quote]

how many were left in August? November? Feb? April?  Early May when we switched to 3 ft? Is your game plan really to just run out the clock while kids languish? Shame on you. [/quote]

Retroactive ire is not useful. [/quote]

Of course it is. Getting kids back even for a week would be beneficial. You’ve thrown away the entire school year now and don’t care. Now the pressure needs stay on for a normal year in 2021-2022. [/quote]

My dc showed a dramatic change for the better after 2 days in IPL. Even one month would be of enormous benefit to children who have been at home for over a year. [/quote]

Hey, I don’t disagree. But it’s also not going to happen. [/quote]

It's not going to happen because parents like you rolled over. Everyone should have fought like h*ll to go back in November.  [/quote]

No, in August. I couldn’t believe how complacent people were over the summer.[/quote]

You are totally right, in retrospect. I feel like it didn't really register with me yet that other schools were totally open. Once it started to sink in that privates and parochials were opening, then I started to get concerned.  I never would have anticipated in August that it was going to be ALL YEAR.  I remember in July being ready for school to go back normally, maybe in hybrid.

What this incident has shown me is that in the world of public administration, you have to fight against any unwanted changes to the status quo, because a new baseline can be established very, very quickly. [/quote]

I did worry back in August that this would be for the long run, possibly even all year, precisely because DL was already the status quo at at that point and not going back after the summer cemented that. That’s why I took the kids to my home country as soon as Bowser made the announcement, and I wasn’t surprised that we were still virtual when we got back in the middle of the year. Hopefully everyone recognizes by now what a disaster this school year has been, and school will be back to normal in the fall. And hopefully when the next pandemic hits, the schools will show more resilience and not put kids last again.[/quote]
