[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8 year-old needs school.  She toughs DL out, but was a happier child and much better learner when she could attend school in-person.  She plays outside with friends after school, but that doesn't make up for the fact that she often finds Microsoft Team instruction frustrating and uninspiring.  We may have a have a hybrid spot at our DCPS EotP come February - we'll know in a few days.

If there's no DCPS school for her through the spring, and no full-time school into the fall, we plan for one parent to take a break from DC with grandparents in a fairly upscale small New England town in the fall, near to the homes of cousins their age.  This is a no brainer because our two children like staying with their grandparents/cousins and don't like learning from home.  My in-laws town is offering full-time public school right now, and has since Labor Day.  Schools in their town put the odd class on hiatus, after a teacher or student tests positive, but they don't shut down the entire school or school system.  The superintendent of schools and the school board have threatened to fire teachers who refuse to teach in person without medical documentation.  The arrangement is working, that's New England for you. [/quote]

Sheesh, PP, you really have a high bar for comfort. All children need school and tough DL out and were happier in person. But the circumstances demand we all tough it out. What you describe in your first paragraph does not deserve our community risk further transmission and teachers' lives and certainly doesn't justify what you suggest doing in your second paragraph.
