[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reducing the number of required live teaching hours for third, fourth and fifth graders.  At our school, K-2 kids are able to come in for half days and so most kids who wanted to were able to get an IPL spot.  But the principal told us this was not an option for the older elementary grades because the required number of live learning hours per day was too high to be met by a half day of in person instruction and DCPS wouldn’t waive the requirement.  Personally, my fourth grader would get so much extra benefit from being in person half day, even if it means losing an hour of live virtual learning.[/quote]

Which school is this?[/quote]

That is not true that most parents who wanted a seat in k-2 got it. 80% wanted in person, only 40% got it... i know many people, myself included, who has kids in those grades and wanted a spot but didn’t get it. And don’t me started on PK. They ended up opening only a single class of 10 in person and over 80% of the over 50 kids wanted a spot. [/quote]

Thanks for sharing this. We are one of the families who didn't get a spot, and I don't know anybody who wanted to but didn't get in.[/quote]
