[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew this was coming and I'm still SO ANGRY. The work from school and the connections to the other kids is what is keeping my kid in a routine and alleviating anxiety. This just leaves us all to fend for ourselves and is totally abandoning the kids. [/quote]
You do realize they’re doing this so they can open school up weeks earlier, right? Duh. [/quote]

No, they are not. They have no legal obligation to make up any of these days. They said they would try to make up the learning which could include opening early for some students, SOME students. The Chancellor said they would let people know WHICH Students are going to be included in summer school or catch up lessons. 
Teachers nor the Union is going to accept extra weeks with no extra pay. Also, it is unlikely it will be safe to open early, on time is debatable as well.
If s/he is angery now just wait until it happens again next year.  Or DCPS does what some states are planning with part-time in the class room school and part-rime at home school for next year! Lol[/quote]

+1.  Just all talk people.   And the key word is some and if you have been paying any attention about DCPS priorities, it’s easy to see who these kids are.   Rest can fend for themselves......[/quote]
My child’s teacher was the one who said they were planning to open early. Not speculation. Take a deep breath and relax. You aren’t the only one going through this. [/quote]

I promise your child's teacher doesn't know yet. They rarely tell us anything early and if they do it's 1-2 hours lmao.

However if we do start early, we will end early. In May 2021. They cannot make teachers work more than the days allotted. However this could be changed if they offer something good enough. As some of you may know teacher's contract has expired and the WTU is currently negotiating a new one. If DCPS concedes to some of our big demands, it could be a one time thing to work more days and be paid more. All speculation though, no clue when we'll start. Guess we will see in a month. Ugh.[/quote]
