[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has also missed zero days (in DCPS) due to covid, nor have many to most in her class.  I used to be a strong Robert White supporter and up until this year a WTU supporter.  I can no longer support either.[/quote]

DP: you and PP have such a blissful ignorance to the realities of what is going on in a majority of the city. I’m glad your experience has been normal this year. That’s not the case district wide and those furthest from opportunity are continuing to pay the bill for your privilege[/quote]

Can you remind me again how much it costs to get vaccinated and how old you have to be? I could have sworn that vaccinations were no cost and that anyone 5 years old is eligible but it sounds like you’re saying they are prohibitively expensive and only available to big law partners in Ward 3.

It’s not worth explaining to you all who’s minds are made up and locked in. The tide in the city is shifting away from you so I’ll
Just take that as solace[/quote]

Are you seriously asking DCPS to shut down schools that are able to stay open for equity reasons??? Seriously? [/quote]

All the question marks in the world don’t change the fact that resources for IPL are currently shifted in a large way toward wealthier schools. It’s hilarious to me that people tried to argue for in person for their kids and used poorer students as leverage, but now that they have what they want, have no desire to support those farthest from opportunity, which this bill would do by providing resources (both physical and human) to ALL schools, not just the ones ables to subsidize through their PTAs.

I know who you all are as people though so this won’t change minds. It’ just feels good to write out. You do you [/quote]

The resources aren’t the issue for higher rates in some schools, it’s vaccine rates and the willingness to mask properly. They are free not to get vaccinated but that choice has consequences that should not be paid for by students whose parents did what they were asked to do.  Are you also one of those  that thought private schools shouldn’t open last year since publics couldn’t (or wouldn’t)? [/quote]
