[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sue on failure to educate; children have a right to a minimum basic education. Scientific evidence is clear on the matter of in-person instruction in the classroom being safe (esp with vaccination now available) and the overwhelming evidence that hybrid and virtual learning environments harm the most at-risk students -- to say nothing of the emotional/psychological damage that a year without schooling has caused. NJ's case in South Orange is a lot like DC: city officials and union were squabbling and couldn't agree. Only the lawsuit moved the needle and got kids back in the classroom[/quote]

Seems unlikely that a court would find that the distance learning isn't at least attempting to provide a minimum basic education. It'd be one thing if DCPS never planned to do in-person school again, but that's not what's going on. [/quote]

My middle schooler is getting exactly 2:15 of online instruction with a teacher 4 times a weeks. Each subject, he’s getting 1:30 of instruction PER WEEK when the norm was what, 4:15 per week for each subject and 30 hours of instruction per week. [/quote]

Yes all MS kids are getting this. Why is your kid so special?[/quote]

DP. Yes!  The PP offers her experience as an example, not to claim any special injury. The injury is to all MS students who are getting 2/5 (or less) of the regular instructional time. This is the problem - for all the kids. [/quote]
