Okayy let's go over this for a minute.  I posted that I think K and 1st should be prioritized to return in person. Someone else replied that that's unrealistic because some families rely on their older kids taking the younger ones to school. I replied that that seemed like a bizarre nitpick, and that I have faith that Title I families can get their kids to school.  And then wall of text about how I am redirecting, don't care about the "realities of an urban school district," just want to get my kid out of the house, and something somthing about solving for rubrics?

The fact that you continue to refer to it as a bizarre nitpick shows your inability to grasp the issue. PPP was trying to explain that there were other considerations and externalities beyond "just send them back". Also, if you can't parse a sentence using the word "rubric" then how on earth are you claiming to have read and understood the myriad materials on COVID that would lead to any rational conclusion.[/quote]

Yes, it was a bizarre nitpick.  Obviously, nobody on here is setting out their 100 page plan for kindergarteners to be phased in first.  But yes, it's absurd for you to just pick something out of the air to prove it won't work.  All you appear to be doing is repeatedly making up new "considerations and externalities" to justify with DC and DCPS don't appear to be taking any action to get kids back to school.  [/quote]

NP here who is a teacher and has been for long enough to know that kids who fall behind in lower elementary have a difficult time throughout the rest of their education because everything is based on reading and reading comprehension.  High schoolers who read at a third or fourth grade level fell behind in K and 1st grade.  Those years are incredibly important.  If a family wants to keep their child home due to exposure concerns or an older sibling walking them to school then DCPS will continue to offer DL for those students.  But K and 1st grade should be prioritized.  [/quote]
