[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Telling that this turned into a chance to lay into chargers when DCPS is so far behind MoCo as well.[/quote]

Not sure I get that. [b] DCPS is open in a hybrid model as of February. [/b] The MCPS boards are full of parents complaining that they aren't open yet, don't have IP slots for everyone, and I thought MCPS wasn't open until March. [/quote]

NOT true.  Thousands of kids in middle and high school are not in at all.  Please don't say that crazy stuff because it just isn't true and there is no plan to get them back in school this year.  [/quote]

There are also many kids in elementary schools who didn’t win the lottery for in person spots and have little hope of getting in for term 4. Please be aware that claiming that DCPS is now open in a hybrid model is enabling DCPS to just pretend that those kids don’t exist and that they have done their job opening schools.[/quote]

The problem is there are thousands of empty in person seats in the entire district.  That’s the bigger issue.   People keep claiming there are no seats but there are tons of seats. Just not at the schools you are willing to send your kids to[/quote]

I know you are implying that many parents’ reluctance to send their kids all the way across town for IPL (if they were allowed to do so) is a matter of racism, but the reality is that it’s logistically impossible for anyone who is also trying to do their own full time job to shuttle their kids to a far away school every day. There is a reason most people choose to live near their kids’ school.[/quote]

It's a bad faith argument to suggest that you can send your kids anywhere, and to imply the reason you don't is racism.  It does nothing for the conversation.  It derails and shames, unnecessarily.[/quote]
