[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who don't care about hundreds, possibly thousands, of high SES DCPS families bolting from the system for good after this miserable school year of 100% DL for most are the kind who cut off their noses to spite their faces.  They will need luck.[/quote]

Gross over-estimation of your value but you do you.[/quote]

No individual family is that important, but the problem is that it can turn into a snowball effect. UMC people see other UMC people leaving, and decide they need to bail, too, because they want to see a critical mass of high-performing kids in order to entrust their own to the system.[/quote]

Yes, exactly, but it's an EotP phenomenon.

Upper NW parents don't have a measure of the potential for the snowball effect to mess up DCPS programs after a year of BS DL. They don't send their children to schools that were Title 1 just a few years years ago, or perhaps a decade back.  They have no direct experience with the hard work parents have done to create real neighborhood schools.  They don't experience the sense of dread that high SES participation in the upper elementary grades could collapse like a house of cards if hybrid learning continues in the fall.

With a good cohort of UMC at our DCPS, we will no longer have a viable school. No estimation of their value could be too high for us.[/quote]
