[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, true, but it's a start, a much less than perfect return to in-person learning to work out some of the kinks before mass enrollment.

[b]Nothing to stop DCPS from adding more in-person learning over time, but they've got to start somewhere.[/quote][/b]

Sigh.  For the 99th time:  Yes, there is something to stop DCPS from adding more in-person learning!

Once they have filled the classrooms all day, 5 days/week, with the in-person classes and the CARE groups, there is no space to bring other students back, even PT, without reducing the 5-dayers from FT to PT and rejiggering the classes once again.

This plan is not scalable.  It is a dead end.  It is a bad plan.[/quote]

Thank you. I have given up trying to explain here that this is the entire plan for the year. I’m not sure why people have so much trouble understanding the big picture. How can middle and high schools go back when their support staff has been scattered and decimated? How many transitions will elementary school kids go through? [/quote]

Look, if you can't get one teacher per grade per school to go back, you aren't getting a better plan.  This is it.  At very least let those sped kids return.  [/quote]

This. There's nothing else DCPS could do with so few teachers willing to return. The CARES classes are far form ideal, but much better than nothing. It's actually some strong out of the box thinking to use existing resources to provide childcare (Yes! Teachers provide childcare when school is open!) to additional students.[/quote]

One thing they could do is have people go part-time, rather than full-time, right now.  Then they could add more people later.

[b]Better yet, they could delay re-opening until they find some managed skill and get their labor relations in better order.[/b][/quote]

Delay until next year is what you mean.  See LAMB[/quote]

Well, I think they *should* do their jobs and have a workable hybrid plan forTerm 3.  But I fear they are not that competent.[/quote]
