[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

you seem New England-obsessed.[/quote]

Sheesh. In crisis situations, families consider going where they have support networks. We're considering FL for the fall if schools aren't open this spring because, a) public elementary schools are open there and b), my siblings live there.

If you're going to attack anybody who thinks DC public elementary schools should be open for in-person learning for the families who think it's worth a shot, you'll nitpick away.  Get a life.[/quote]

This makes no sense.  You are willing to risk covid for ipl because of your support network?  I could understand going down to bubble down there and do DL down there where there would be some cousin interaction or sunshine backyard, etc.  If your kids are IPL why do you need a support network?

Stop threatening and go now.

our classes can be smaller so teachers can focus on kid's whose parents don't want them to get covid[/quote]
