[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cutting PreK at this stage will actually have a horrendous economic effect on the city. School is childcare + school and people haven't made alternative arrangements. Not feasible at this stage.[/quote]

You already need essentially fulltime childcare. And A/B schedule that anticipates 16 hours per week max of in person schooling means you need quite a lot of childcare to cover the remainder if both parents are working fulltime [/quote]

I genuinely don’t think most people have planned for part time school and it’s part of the reason that I think it ultimately won’t happen.[/quote]

Hence my panic attack after after a week of PD. They really didn’t take parent or teacher feedback into consideration. I wish we could actually have a seat at the table when they craft policy. We will all be scrambling last minute to find part time child care (go broke and widen our kids contact circle) with their hybrid model. Maybe we could consider a case by case hybrid system like other counties. Bring back students of essential workers first.

Also many of us DCPS and DCPCS teachers will be forced to quit because the demands will be too great (full time distance learning for 2/3 class while managing in person classes all day long in addition to coordinating our own kids education). Be prepared for a ton of sick staff, closures due to contact tracing (as happens I other counties) and people quitting.
