[quote=Anonymous]We are high SES. One of my kids has an IEP and one does not. Neither of my kids “deserve” spots based on need (they are both academically ahead, neither has become school avoidant/refuses to participate and neither of them are in a mental health crisis). That said, going in person would help them both enormously, the older in particular has gotten basically nothing out of DL since it’s not really differentiated at all and she is ahead of grade level at a school where lots of kids (through no fault of their own) have lost ground due to COVID/DL. My younger kid is taking the spot he “earned” through his IEP (which is for speech articulation, so it’s ludicrous he was prioritized frankly given that his services will continue to be remote and he will probably be less understood through a mask), but I understand bright lines are necessary to make the system fair. I am glad we are opening at all, but don’t remotely think the very partial opening (less than 1/3rd of kids in my older child’s class, when 80%+ of parents requested in person) is sufficient even to meet “need.”[/quote]
