[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not an issue parents get to decide. Why is that SO hard for some of you to understand? There has been ONE word on the ITDS listserves about this and that’s it because you all know how dumb you sound and will only continue this ranting anonymously. Seriously just leave the school if you are that up in arms about this. Plenty of other schools you can go to in DC. [/quote]

What are you so scared of? Clearly ITDS has created a culture of conformity and fear such that parents feel they can’t speak out. Hopefully this thread inspires a parent to be open about it on the listserv. [/quote]

We wrote immediately to the HOS when the announcement was made expressing our disagreement and insisting on more transparency on what would prompt the potential reconsideration "in the fall" because we've been hearing that line for a long time now. No response so far.  I hope others are speaking up as well.[/quote]

You haven’t posted to the school listserv? [/quote]

I can't tell if this and the previous "post to listserv" was serious or not. If you've been at ITDS you know it's a listserve for FAMILIES and not for communicating to admin, who are not part of that group. There are usually several reminders of this throughout the year.

Email the person designated as the COVID contact or the school leadership. I did. [/quote]

You need to normalize for the administration that parents do not all want masks. The way you do that is by being public about it and getting more parents to speak up. The listserv is the way to do that even if the admins are (supposedly) not monitoring it.  You can draft a letter and request additional sign-ons.  [/quote]
